fucking joke both of them (yes i may be English)
those fifa bastards need their bank accounts investigating
Abramovich was smiling way too much earlier on for my liking
Qatar for fuck sake ?!?! Who votes Qatar - dodgy dodgy dodgy
that means it will be at least 60 years since we hosted it - the home of football. Yes I am biassed but something fucking fishy here
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
This should give football fans something to smile about.........................
In Qatar: "Only people with permits can buy alcohol and to obtain a permit, a letter from your sponsor stating your basic salary and a copy of your ID needs to be submitted to QDC along with a refundable deposit of QR 1000."
1 Euro = 4.7928 Qatar Riyals
1 USD = 3.6414 Qatar Riyals
1 GBP = 5.66477 Qatar Riyals
So to drink over there, you will need to
A) Get a sponsor, get him to write you a letter.
B) Show proof of income
C) Show ID
D) Submit that information to the QDC
E) Put down a deposit of (208 Euros, 274.62 Dollars or 176.53 Pounds)
That's just for your license after that you have to pay 2 to 1 what you would pay in your home country for booze.
Plus women must completely cover their legs and shoulders.

I await the scandal to emerge

So you can't buy alcohol in Qatar and you can't actually get into Russia itself? Makes sense to host the World Cup there then. We made a wrong move after the corruption scandal came to light. The sensible thing would have been for the papers to keep it quiet, tell the FA which members of the voting committee would take the bungs and then slip then some money on the side. That would have guaranteed we'd have it in 2018. Oh well, on to 2030!
Certainly they took into consideration the quality of football in Qatar

At least after the 2022 World Cup Qatar will have some cracking stadiums to stone women in...

The whole thing stinks of corruption. I wouldn't have minded had Spain, Holland, Australlia etc won it. But this was just so blatant. Decisions made not for footballing reasons.
Qatar is worse than Russia as a choice, here are some more facts about it:
The country has a population of just 1.6m. Using the last world cup as a guide, it is reported that 1.4m people travelled to South Africa for the world cup. So their population will double overnight!
The country is fucking tiny
Qatar have NEVER qualified for a world cup tournament
Poor England, try to stop this corruption but the reality is they need to cheat ( buy bribes ) themselves if they want to host it.
Made me laugh two votes in the first round got votes for Holland/Belguim then when England had been voted out the same two voters dropped the Holland/Belguim vote and lumped on Russia in the second round
Nearly as bent as Hammer!
England fans have every right to be disappointed but at least they didn't lose out to Qatar
When you lose out to Qatar you just pack up and never bid for another one again.
I don't really mind that Russia won, after all it's the biggest country in the world, and while it's corrupt and racist at least some good can come from it with grounds being built and generally advancing forward.
Qatar on the other hand is a complete joke, I wanted Australia to win that. As someone else stated on here, Qatar has a population of 1.8million - less than even Wales, and it's half the size of Wales. All of the grounds are going to be within 30 minutes drive of each other.
Why not have the 2026 World Cup in Hawaii.
