Really hope it stays in Qatar, it'll be hilarious. And while they're at it, let all those with banning orders have their passports back, just this once.

Qatar should be banned from entering !

will they have sufficient jail places though? because there is no way that tourists and wags are going to adhere to their "you're in Qatar now, please follow our rules when it comes to dress code" leaflets are they...

Not going to happen....in Qatar

Well this will solve one problem,....the intense heat in Qatar
so FIFA may well use this to pull out

I suppose it will then go to the second choice the United Sates
which should be ok as long as they don't decide to hold the whole tournament in Death ValleyShocked

the non returnable  bribes from everyone wanting the WC needs a bit of tweaking 

how many times do they ask for more ?


corruption by auction is  extortion imo .

























all bungs should be refunded if you don't get the  gig  Laugh
Report pumphol. • June 2, 2014 9:13 PM BST
If this is proved all the countries who spent tens of millions promoting their countries to host it should sue either FIFA or Qatar or both.

The world cup should never be held in a country beginning with Q ever again.

I think FIFA should look again at how they select countries to host WC
it is wide open to corruption
personally I think the fairest method is to draw it out of a hat
leave out countries who have had it recently
Report ebulGery • June 3, 2014 12:31 AM BST
The whole selection process needs to be far more open and honest
Report Ken Masters • June 3, 2014 8:29 AM BST
Don't know why they can't just make more world-cups, if every county had one we wouldn't have to go through the same old shiite every 4 years. It'd definitely be cheaper in the long run.

County ??? You're in the realms....surely !
Report pumphol. • June 3, 2014 9:57 AM BST
Would you hold the Rugby world cup in Luxembourg or the Cricket World cup in Finland. no obviously so is it any different the  Football World Cup  being played in Qatar? 
So they have got Loads Of Money !  Is that in itself enough reason of course not, what right minded person would vote to hold a tournament in a god forsaken sh!thole like this unless you were handed a very large brown envelope, FIFA should hold their heads in shame but the sad fact is the whole organisation is a corrupt cancer & this sort of thing is basically just the norm for its privileged members  Sad

There needs to be a breakaway fifa, just do what the fa did with the premier league, get all the big nations to sign up and the rest would follow. And sack that piece of sh1t blatter.

same old shiite every 4 years

it's not every 4 years - it's ongoing

once the finals end , the Pitcairn islands will be getting ready for their clash with their enemies from the Bounty isles Happy
