Six Things to Emerge From the 2009 FIFA Congress Posted: 03 Jun 2009 04:10 PM PDT The FIFA Congress met in the Bahamas (nice choice) today, and held a press conference afterwards. You can see the press conference here or you can keep reading for a nice tidy overview. I’ve watched the press conference, and recommend that you keep reading. Here are six things that emerged from the 2009 FIFA Congress: 1. FIFA = $£€ World football’s governing body made a net profit of $184 million in 2008. I can’t decided whether that’s good news or bad news. 2. Age limits removed on players switching nationality. Used to be that a player with dual nationality had to choose his national team by the age of 21. The Algerian Football Association put forward a motion to remove that age limit, which was passed with a 58% majority. If you play for a senior national team, then you’re still tied to that national team. But now players don’t have to make a choice at the age of 21, which makes perfect sense to me. You don’t know what your future holds at 21. So, basically, if you’re Senegalese and French and you play for the French youth teams but then never get an international call up, you can still play for Senegal. 3. Host cities chosen for Brazil 2014 The 12 Brazilian host cities for the 2014 World Cup will be: Belo Horizonte, Brasilia, Cuiaba, Curitiba, Fortaleza, Manaus, Natal, Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio De Janeiro, Salvador, Sao Paulo 4. Sepp still loves Six Plus Five. The Seppster says “6+5″ is “only a matter of time”, and he believes the Treaty of Lisbon will make it possible: “If we get that by end of year - then next year we will be able to announce that we were on the right path and can begin implementing it,” he said. “If there is the political will a law can be amended, a law can be interpreted, all laws can be changed or amended.” That second sentence is a bit scary, no? 5. But he hates fences. Nothing official, but Uncle Sepp used the press conference to call for the removal of fences at all football stadia. “Ladies and gentlemen, fences in the stadium are not adequate for (football),” he said.” Who are behind fences? Prisoners and wild animals. Are fans in these two categories?” 6. No decision on Olympic football It was expected that the U-23 age limit for Olympic football would be reduced to U-21 at this congress. But rather than any firm decision, a task force has been setup to figure out exactly what needs to be done. But the message was that football will remain an Olympic sport. Blatter suggested several different approaches, such as getting rid of the age limit altogether and allowing any player who hasn’t already played at a World Cup to compete.

2009 Confederations Cup - ESPN and BBC TV Schedules Posted: 02 Jun 2009 01:10 PM PDT I’ve got a good feeling about the 2009 Confederations Cup. Sure, it’s not the most important tournament in the world. It’s really just a World Cup 2010 test run, and no one’s going to be too upset if they don’t win it. But there are still plenty of reasons to get interested. Here’s a quick reminder of how it all works: It’s an eight team tournament featuring the World Cup hosts, the World Cup holders and then the six confederation champions. Here’s what the groups look like. Group A: South Africa, Spain, Iraq, New Zealand Group B: USA, Italy, Brazil, Egypt Any tournament featuring Spain, Italy and Brazil is worth watching. That’s just a fact. USA fans will get to see their team face some serious opposition x 3, while underdog can go ahead and cheer for Iraq and New Zealand. The tournament runs from June 14th to June 28th, and if you’re US or UK based then you’ll have no trouble finding it on TV. Here are the schedules: 2009 Confederations Cup, ESPN TV schedule for US viewers. ESPN are showing every game live. Except for the Iraq vs New Zealand group game, which we can forgive them for. Games will be shown across ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN360.com (which is a great little service, provided you have the right internet provider). All kickoff time are US Eastern, all programming starts five minutes before kickoff (so you’ll have to do your own previews). GROUP STAGE: Sunday, June 14th South Africa vs Iraq (Johannesburg) Group A, 10am, ESPN2/360.com (Live) New Zealand vs Spain (Rustenburg) Group A, 2:30pm, ESPN2/360.com (Live) Monday, June 15th Brazil vs Egypt (Bloemfontein), Group B, 10am, ESPN2/360.com (Live) USA vs Italy (Pretoria) Group B, 2:30pm, ESPN/360.com (Live) Wednesday, June 17th Spain vs Iraq (Bloemfontein) Group A, 10am, ESPN2/360.com (Live) South Africa vs New Zealand (Rustenburg) Group A, 2:30pm, ESPN2/360.com (Live) Thursday, June 18th USA vs Brazil (Pretoria), Group B, 10am, ESPN2/360.com (Live) Egypt vs Italy (Johannesburg) Group B, 2:30pm, ESPN2/360.com (Live) Saturday, June 20th Iraq vs New Zealand (Johannesburg) Group A, 2:30pm kickoff BUT will be shown delayed - June 21st, 1am, ESPN2/360.com Spain vs South Africa (Bloemfontein) Group A, 2:30pm, ESPN2/360.com (Live) Sunday, June 21st Egypt vs USA (Rustenburg) Group A, 2:30pm, ESPN2/360.com (Live) Italy vs Brazil (Pretoria) Group A, 2:30pm, ESPN/360.com (Live) SEMIFINALS Wednesday, June 24th 1st Group A vs 2nd Group B (Bloemfontein), 2:30pm, ESPN/360.com (Live) Thursday, June 25th 1st Group B vs 2nd Group A (Johannesburg), 2:30pm, ESPN/360.com (Live) THIRD PLACE PLAYOFF Sunday, June 28th (Rustenburg), 9am, ESPN2/360.com (Live) FINAL Sunday, June 28th (Johannesburg) 2:30pm, ESPN2/360.com (Live) [Source: SportsMediaNews] 2009 Confederations Cup, BBC TV schedule for UK viewers The BBC are showing every game, but you’re going to need digital TV to see them. Games are spread across BBC Three, and BBC Red Button (ie you click the red interactive button and there it is). All time BST. Programming for 3pm kickoff game starts at 2:50pm, programming for 7:30pm kickoffs starts at 7pm. Gabby Logan will be presenting, commentary will be from Jonathan Pearce, Guy Mowbray and Steve Wilson with co-commentary from Mark Bright and Martin Keown. Yep, that Martin Keown. Every game will also be broadcast on the BBC website (available to UK residents only). GROUP STAGE: Sunday, June 14th South Africa vs. Iraq (Johannesburg) Group A, 3pm, BBC Red Button (Live) New Zealand vs Spain (Rustenburg) Group A, 7:30pm, BBC Three (Live) Monday, June 15th Brazil vs Egypt (Bloemfontein), Group B, 3pm, BBC Red Button (Live) USA vs Italy (Pretoria) Group B, 7:30pm, BBC Three (Live) Wednesday, June 17th Spain vs Iraq (Bloemfontein) Group A, 3pm, BBC Red Button (Live) South Africa vs New Zealand (Rustenburg) Group A, 7:30pm, BBC Three (Live) Thursday, June 18th USA vs Brazil (Pretoria), Group B, 3pm, BBC Red Button (Live) Egypt vs Italy (Johannesburg) Group B, 7:30pm, BBC Three (Live) Saturday, June 20th Iraq vs New Zealand (Johannesburg) Group A, 7:30pm, BBC Red Button (Live) Spain vs South Africa (Bloemfontein) Group A, 7:30pm, BBC Three (Live) Sunday, June 21st Egypt vs USA (Rustenburg) Group A, 7:30pm, BBC Red Button (Live) Italy vs Brazil (Pretoria) Group A, 7:30pm, BBC Three (Live) SEMIFINALS Wednesday, June 24th 1st Group A vs 2nd Group B (Bloemfontein), 7:30pm, BBC Three (Live) Thursday, June 25th 1st Group B vs 2nd Group A (Johannesburg), 7:30pm, BBC Three (Live) THIRD PLACE PLAYOFF Sunday, June 28th (Rustenburg), 2pm, BBC Red Button (Live) FINAL Sunday, June 28th (Johannesburg) 7:30pm, BBC Three (Live) [Source: BBC Press Release] And there you have it. Nice to see this accessible on both sides of the Atlantic. US viewers will get an idea of how ESPN plans to cover WC2010. Outside of the US and UK, this document should tell you which broadcaster has the rights in your country (it’s 17 pages long, but divided by continent and in alphabetical order). Also, if anyone has links to full TV schedules from any other countries, please share in the comments.
