Shambles... Although I'm pretty sure that FIFA had this planned all along.
The countries that lost out to Qatar must be furious. |  | |  |

Not quite yet just UEFA backing the move, although something will happen, its a summer tourney and should stay that way, they should play it elsewhere. If they do move it to winter it'll all ko with the prem, they wont be happy and I suspect us as fans wont either considering the potentail players we could lose |  |

Why can't all major footballing nations dump FIFA and set up an alternative organisation to run the World Cup? |  |

In fairness, if FIFA insisted that the World Cup could only be held in June/July, and only if it is not too hot and not too cold, then they would be excluding a large number of countries from ever hosting the event.
Personally, I have no interest in international football, but if we've got to have a World Cup then I don't have a problem with Qatar hosting it. |  | | |

Should never have been awarded to them in the first place. Its not as if the climate has changed there overnight. |  |

It'll be something different and if I'm honest I'll be interested to see how it plays out. Been pointed out that the majority of players will be at the peak of their physical condition as opposed to the end. |  |

If it's the same as they are doing with alcohol, then bumming will only be allowed in specified "Fan Zones" | | | |

For other yanks, Bumming (according to http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bumming) is engaging in anal intercourse, at least in this context.
I'm not positive that this is correct, though. [Post edited 20 Sep 2013 4:54]

Qatar under pressure over migrant labour abuse
International Trade Union Confederation says death toll could reach 600 a year unless government makes urgent reforms
...The stark warning came after a Guardian investigation revealed that 44 Nepalese workers died from 4 June to 8 August this year, about half from heart failure or workplace accidents. Workers described being forced to work in 50C heat without a supply of drinking water by employers who withhold salaries for several months and retain their passports to prevent them leaving the country. The investigation found sickness is endemic among workers living in overcrowded and insanitary conditions, and hunger has been reported.

It makes you wonder how on Earth incredibly wealthy Qatar with no football infrastructure or history or suitable climate won the vote of an organisation known for its history of corruption. |  |

Allegedly the French UEFA President Michel Platini gave Qatar UEFA's vote in return of Qatar's royal family out of nowhere investing heavily in Paris Saint-Germain and other French companies and French charity projects + Platini's lawyer son, Laurent, started work for Qatar Sports Investments.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2301694/Backed-Qatars-billions
"The tale of the takeover of Paris St Germain by Qatar Sports Investments, a subsidiary of the Qatari Al-Thani royal family's investment vehicle, the Qatar Investment Authority, is well recorded: a meeting with then President Sarkozy and Qatar's Crown Prince, Tamin bin Hamad al-Thani took place at the Elysée Palace on November 23, 2010. Also in attendance was UEFA president Michel Platini.
A month later Qatar, the state with the highest GDP per head of population in the world thanks to its gas reserves, shocked the world to win the right to host the 2022 World Cup finals, helped by Platini's vote."
'I voted completely independently for a region that has never before hosted the World Cup and not because Sarkozy asked me to,' insists Platini.
Shortly afterwards, Platini's lawyer son, Laurent, started work for Qatar Sports Investments. And in July 2011, the takeover of PSG by Qatar Sports Investment was completed.
'I don't think there's any doubt that the acquisition of PSG was part of a larger deal, in which the French, including Platini, supported the World Cup bid,' said James Dorsey, Senior Fellow at Singapore's Nanyang Technical University and an expert on football in the Middle East.

So rather than Blatter and Platini returning the millions and millions of pounds they recieved from Qatari kings and princes,they're now going to ruin nearly every domestic league in the world for a season instead. |  | | |
