Blatter (finally) admits 2022 WC mistake.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Then why award it in the first place, FFS? He also admits that it will probably have to be moved to the winter, FFS. How is a winter WC going to effect our domestic season?


Why can't FIFA just tell Qatar to feck off. You're not having it.

Cause Qatar will sue Blatter and Fifa's arse off!

Oh, hold on....

go on blatter, go on!   

Why shouldnt qatar have it ? Stop pandering to europe blatter & tell everyone its a world cup ffs

As much as Line-acre gets on my proverbials, his tweet that there were 'wads of reasons' for Qatar to be awarded it made me chuckle.

Errrr, 3 million degrees in the summer!! That might be a clue!!

I think that we should field a totally gay side for the qatar WC resplendent in a rainbow kit and our physios, coaches and manager should all be women. You will then find out why the WC shouldn't be in Quatar until they catch up with the rest of civilisation.

rubbish. host it when its cool if it means winter WC so what?
south american football suffers for EVERY world cup.
europe's turn now.

'A bit of heat'? Have you any idea how hot it get's over there? and what it could possibly be like to run around for 90 minutes? Madness if you ask me.

When is it cool though, Elias? And what would you perceive as cool in proportion to the 'general' European climate?

It really doesn't seem that FIFA thought the thing through at all - they just took the money!

Where next? Antartica?

qatar possibly the 'safest' place to hold a world cup in the middle east.

not very safe for those building the grounds mind.

Apart from players dropping dead of heatstroke and any western fans showing any sort of homosexual tendencies, rounded up and shot - yeh pretty safe!!  

Should be fun getting a drink as well.

On the upside.. Newell is banned. No pork allowed.
