This comes straight from the fifa website -
Brazil
Brazil call off Kuwait friendly
(AFP) 11 Nov 2005Brazil has postponed a scheduled football friendly against Kuwait from Tuesday until next year, the Brazilian football federation announced.
The Brazilian and Kuwaiti federations had been warned by FIFA that the match could not be considered an international and clubs were not under any obligation to release their Brazilian players. “For this reason, the match has been postponed until 2006,” the Brazilian federation said. Brazil called up a 22-strong squad to play the United Arab Emirates on Saturday and Kuwait three days later, but several clubs told the federation that they were unable to release their players for the game.
Basically, the game was cancelled because of complaints from European clubs, started by Inter Milan complaining about using Adriano in games that are not important and don’t really help since its a football club against a national team. Other clubs followed suit and the pressure mounted and its cancelled!
The game is is postponed till 2006, so after the World Cup, which doesn’t help here at all!
Now, who’s fault is it? Marzouq AlGhanem and Kuwait Sports Club spent ALOT of money on marketing this event, through TV ads, newspaper ads, online promotions, and so on!
Who will compensate the club for their financial losses?
More than 20,000 fans who paid money for this game, how are they gonna get their money back?! What about all the sponsors!?! 34 companies paid alot of money to have their name associated with the game!
What a nightmare for the organizing committee!
———————————————————
Marzouq AlGhanim just had a press conference which was broadcast live on KTV3, and said that the club will take one of 3 actions -
1- Play against Brazil without the stars
2- Sue the Brazilian football federation
3- Agree with the Brazilian Federation request of postponing the game to 2006
They said a final decision will be made in 24-48 hours. He also said that they will want to know what the people want through some sort of voting thing from 1 of the 3 options through some phone numbers.
———————————————————
I have two comments on the whole thing -
First, its great that they had a press release so quickly! They stopped rumors and got in touch with everyone. This is excellent crisis management!
Second, I totally disagree with the voting system! That is just shifting the responsibility! They should take a decision real quick and stick to it and suffer the consequences!
———————————————————
Since I am not a decision maker in this situation, I can ask everyone for their opinion -

As you may have noticed through the lack of posts the past couple of days, my brain is blocked and I can’t think! Today being Friday, I have to post a poll, and with 10 mins to go for the day, Im just in time!
This time, I will be going back to consumer products instead of politics.
This week’s poll question is about cars …..
I hope I covered all the popular brands of cars and didn’t forget a major company! I couldn’t mention all brands otherwise this list would be 10 times as long!

Excellent participation on this latest poll! The result is clear, the people have spoken! Dr. Mohammed AlSabah is the bloggers’ choice!

This result is as of 9 pm Kuwait time, which is nearly 24 hours for the poll, where people can vote only once! The results may be different right now but that is because everyone can vote again!

Keeping with the political spirit of things in the air these days, this Friday poll will be a very direct one…
By the way, I am talking about the period that comes after the Emir, Crown Prince, Sabah AlAhmad, and Salem AlAli (ba3ad 3umur 6uweel to all of them)!

To be honest, I didn’t expect this big number of votes on this poll!
Anyway, since I dont watch any of these shows, I really cant say which shows deserve it or not, but apparently ملوك الطوائف is ملك المسلسلات الرمضانية, and it blew off the competition!
As for “other show”, not enough ppl specified names. I guess I still have time to catch that show, good thing I did this poll early in the month!

Since the topic on everyone’s mind is Ramadan tv shows, this Friday poll will be on that topic.
The list of options in this poll is not a full list of the shows available, it would be way too long, but I hope Im not missing any major shows. If u pick ‘other’, please specify
Wed 5 Oct 2005
So the results are in! Very nice range of answers…
Best thing about Ramadan…
