Qatar, like all Arab States is a racist hell hole where all south asians are treated like shit. Already over 1000 died, almost all of them from south asia. It will be icing on the cake if Qatar loses the right.<br /><br />In any case most of FIFA countries are pissed with the Nov schedule of 2022 since it is right in the midst of their club season.Tambi Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13288496189296384896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600258.post-50679446991889564912015-06-03T06:14:41.309-04:002015-06-03T06:14:41.309-04:00Whilst I am somewhat sceptical about the US leadin...Whilst I am somewhat sceptical about the US leading the investigation, I welcome it. The allegations of corruption and bribery could not be ignored for much longer. I do think it is questionable that Qatar were awarded to host the WC over the United Kingdom (and this is not being me being bitter) - it just seemed to me like Englad had the better infrastructure to do this (even in 2018 rather than 2022). I welcome Blatter's resignation - his legacy was becoming detrimental to FIFA football.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600258.post-69579086501834196922015-05-30T10:38:20.297-04:002015-05-30T10:38:20.297-04:00It's because of things like this: http://www.w...It's because of things like this: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/05/27/a-body-count-in-qatar-illustrates-the-consequences-of-fifa-corruption/<br /><br />'If current trends continue, the ITUC estimates that 4,000 [migrant labour] workers will die in Qatar by the time the World Cup is actually held....'Yawarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741563704441932843noreply@blogger.com
