I woke up this morning and saw it aswell.

I just want to say that this movie will make sure we will never get to host FIFA any time soon.

I can't believe we actually aired that. There are times when I'm happy to be an Australian, this isn't one of them.

If not Australia, then Qatar or the US.

I don't think Japan/South Korea are likely to get many votes.

I thought it was an excellent video, take a look at the Qatar presentation. (absolutely awful crap)

It showcases the, 'no worries' attitude and includes all of the tourist destinations people all over the world want to come and see. Have any of you actually travelled overseas? You'd be amazed to know how fond people are of Uluru and places like that.

It actually wasn't too bad overall.  You can watch the whole thing here:

Things to note:
-McPherson, could you have taken over the floor any worse?
-McPherson + Lowy, get a room.
-Gillard, do not get involved with things you know nothing about.

Interesting read.

Rediculous article. As for the "world wide critics", it's basically the yanks, who are up against us in the race. Who wouldve thought they'd be critical of it?!

Stupid Australian media, instead of being positive of our bid, they quote a competitiors view of it. Lastly, who watched the two major stuff ups of the yanks presentation? Why isnt that getting reported.

For what its worth, I thought it was appealing to the 60 year old ExCom members.

America always makes mistakes so writing about that would really cause us to say "meh".
