Qatar?! lolwut?
Giving the World Cup to Qatar is a bloody farce, a joke. Australia should have walked away with it. And although I loved Japan's bid for the 2022 World Cup the most, it was just too soon for them.
It's retarded, what's the alternative? Because we invented the sport, whenever we fancy hosting a World Cup we just pop in and nick it? Or do we get to host it every single time.
Great Qatar, no beers no gambling no bare flesh...the spirit of football & the World Cup!
Qatar hosting a World Cup, mental. Is the country even big enough to fit all the stadiums?
Not that I was very interested in international football anyway.
Qatar is just a ridiculous choice, I think US & Japanese companies should withdraw any association with Fifa.
Only this week did the leaked cables say that Qatar does the least to combat terrorism of any country in the Middle East.
Australia, USA or Japan would have been fine.
Qatar is just absurd.
Whose idea was Eddie, if there is another thing we've learnt from this. If you want to win in football keep ANYONE from MANCHESTER CITY as far as feck away from the situation as possible.
Typical City. fecked the bid up.
what's 51 degrees in july, has 1.6 million people and is hosting a world cup?
Russia and Qatar were always going to get it. Money talks, and it's certainly screamed in the ears of Warner, his cronies, and the likes down at Blatter headquarters just as I predicted.
The England delegation were making a point of calling it Fifas game, Even though the rules of football were invented in this country. People have been kicking shit about for as long as mankind could walk. Having cavemen booting a rock to each other doesn't mean they invented the game. The french sailors kicking barrels past each other doesn't mean they invented the game. The Game was made in England and the FA book of rules travelled the world and affected more people than many religous tomes.
If they build 12 stadiums of around 60,000 capacity, they could seat half of their entire population.
Seriously, WTF are they going to do with them afterwards?
I'm not English but I think a world cup there would be truly special. International football needs a venue like that. It's become rather stale.

Right. Qatar had bloody well better have a good a plan for avoiding a terrorist attack, because when thousands of drunken western men and immodest western women turn up on Muslim land (as some people will see it) in a show for the world, Qatar will become the biggest target on the planet.
Got to admit, the big brands will be furious, they won't be able to entrench thmselves int a new markets for the build up. Whats the point when their time will be better spent trying to get themselves recognised in the Amazon basin considering the population size.
Qatar ahead of England?
Well, doesn't surprise me as much considering FIFA are a bunch of clowns.
It looks lke since the South africa winning bid that they have a tendency to give the event to the bid that has the worst conditions.
