    Russia were due a World Cup. Qatar getting one is the dodgiest thing that’s ever happened in the world of sport. It’d be great if the teams told them to f*ck right off.

    Slight exaggeration with the size of Qatar, it's a bit bigger than that , maybe bigger than Ellon by a puckly acres
    It's about the size of the Falkland islands or Vanuatu, by square km

    More than slight.

    The smallest host ever was Switzerland. Ive got a train from Geneva to Zurich which is more than 3/4 of the way across and it took 2 3/4 hours. Use yhat as a comparator for Qatar which is less than 3 times the size of Switzerland. Its f@cking tiny

    Back in the day Switzerland hosted 16 teams and nae 32 which Qatar will have to. Madness

    All the grounds are as good as next to eachother too. Sardines in a can clusterf@ck

    Oil speaks

    What was appalling with that decision?
    I though it was helping promote the game within America

    Someone upholding the "official line" and what a surprise, look who it is.


    Awarding international football's premier tournament to a non football playing nation was a disgrace.

    They reckon Qatar will cost £138bn... when you compare that to £3.5bn that South Africa spent, its utter f*cking madness. And like all of these events, what will happen when its all over? the stadiums will become unused and become crumbling wrecks. See Brazil, South Africa or even the Greece and Sochi Olympic stadiums. All of those events now have abandoned and crumbling stadiums, fascinating how quick they fall apart, but utterly wasteful.

    They reckon there will be 4000 deaths by the time Qatar World Cup starts and yet no one is calling that into question. Corrupt and abhorrent.
