I'm sorry, JK, but you're having a laugh.
FIFA has made a terrible decision in awarding the 2022 finals to Qatar.
For a start, what if Israel qualify...? Like Iran, Qatar does not recognise Israel as a nation.
With homosexuality illegal in Qatar, I don't think many gay football fans will attend. They're likely to be arrested and imprisoned just for walking down the street holding hands.

Can we seriously say that if England had won there had been no corruption involved?
Of course there will have been dodgy dealings behind our bid too, things like that are never decided purely on merit.

I've lived and worked in both Arabia and Eastern europe.While you make a valid point it is a question of degrees of corruption,and like most things these days we're well behind others
