Good posts Potter

Regarding Qatar in 2022. I'm sure you'l be able to do what ever the fuck you want during the scheduled time of the games as the country is slowly becoming more liberal and more importantly, (and i'm assuming) many temporary rules/exceptions will be made for the cup. Arabic countries just like any others will bend over backwards to "impress" the world whist playing host to such a global event. I cannot see Quatar winning the bid let alone being a contender if such things were not considered.

I heard/read some things about substantial investment on behalf of the government in renewable energy sources for the games, alongside a strict diet of environmentally friendly construction techniques amongst other things. Sounds good but i'm worried it is nothing more than the usual vague promise to insure bid acquisition. Also, Qatar is just too small. I think they will see a serious inflationary effect as per their costs because they literally have to build every last thing to support a serious increase then decrease in population and density.

Why do I think the people living in Qatar, or rather Doha, are going to have a shitty time? But hey it is more than ten years away, a lot can happen.

I am not going to get into the debate of this. I will just say that there's a chance that England will not host a world cup in my lifetime. That in itself is heartbreaking for me.

As a football lover for the whole of my life, I cannot understand why, the country that created the game, should be denied the opportunity to host the greatest competition in the world.

They can say that it is because of the hooliganism but trust me, those that want trouble will go and find it, no matter what country the cup is held in.

Anyway. Like I said. Heartbroken.

Brazil starting in a few days ... Who knows how that will even end up and play itself out.

But with fresh new allegations against Qatar I'm curious to know if anyone still supports the farce (on so many levels) that is Qatar 2022.

Re-vote please. How about having it in a country that is not ass-backwards?

Agreed. I think it's going to happen. The suggestion of having it in the winter is just ludicrous, It would impact every single league globally. And it's not like the hockey olympics where they can take a week break.

Fifa has been really impressed with Canada. We broke I think maybe an attendence record for the under 18 World Cup. And we are hosting the 2015 womens World Cup.

Its very possible Fifa will favour Canada over the US and Mexico... i thought I read an article some time ago saying how its possible Canada and the US can host it jointly...

By my count we got 8 decent stadiums across Canada... Brazil has 12 for this years world cup... Fifa was willing to work with South Africa, Korea/Japan, and is working with Brazil and Qater with building new stadiums so I dont see why they wont help us out....
