Russia and Qatar - good choices 13 Years, 5 Months ago  
Good for football and the world - expanding East and expanding South - taking in the entire continent of Russia and the Arab states for the first time; strike me as the best possible choices.

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.

get real folks.

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

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.
