World Cup 2010 Blog: Qatar 2022: Cloudy With A Chance Of Shade

Qatar 2022: Cloudy With A Chance Of Shade

Posted: 24 Mar 2011 07:48 AM PDT

cloud-creatures I remember, way back when I was little, making “clouds” in school for a science experiment.

They didn’t cost $500,000 a puff. Very little does, unless an anti-doping agency is knocking for the ominous post-game pee test.

Of course, they weren’t trying to save a World Cup, either, which is what Qatari scientists have offered as yet another solution to the oppressive summer heat in the Middle East’s summer. Real, traditional football, fake clouds.

Qatar officials say they will air condition the stadiums via solar power and now scientists at Qatar University have designed the “cloud”, which can be produced at a cost of $500,000 (£309,000) each.

Saud Abdul Ghani, the head of the mechanical and industrial engineering department, told Gulf News the “clouds” are made from a lightweight carbon structure carrying a giant envelope of material containing helium gas. Four solar powered engines move the structure via remote control.

The supposed structure:

Now cue another epic, possibly corrupt, bidding process for the rights to man the coolest (apologies) remote controlled object in all the land.

The good money’s on Zizou: skilled technician, great vision of space, lots of fancy pirouettes with which to thrill the crowd, and he’s already in tight with the Qatari World Cup team.

Being on the payroll already probably doesn’t hurt either.

Life Lessons: Sit Down, Shut Up, Behave

Back in the fall, some Serbian hooligans caused a ruckus at the Marassi in Genoa where the Serbian and Italian national teams were to embark on one of the better fixtures during Euro 2012. And it really should’ve been one of the best games, if only on paper, during qualifying. Which is probably why said hooligans were given such stiff penalties for the troubles they caused on that day.

This on top of the 3-0 victory handed to Italy for showing up, watching some flares and handing their shirts into the crowd.

So that makes the Faroe Islands and Serbian hooligans the only things which can ship three goals to Italy.

Ivan Bogdanov, who earned the nickname Ivan the Terrible, was the figurehead at Marassi during the match that was called off on October 12.

Serb hooligans were determined to stop the game going ahead and invaded the team bus before kick-off, then threw fireworks and broke down barriers in the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

The tribunal in Genoa today passed a sentence of three years and three months for Bogdanov, plus Nikola Klickovis got three years, Daniel Ianic two years and eight months, while Srdan Iovetic's sentence was two years and six months. However, due to the notoriously complex Italian justice system, it is unclear how much real jail time they will have.

‘Ivan the Terrible’ seems a little strong; seems like ‘Ivan the Extraordinary Inconvenience’ or something more mild.

But is this not enough warning for those in Italian stadiums to behave? The next game inside the peninsula should look like A Putting Green: The Opera.
