Russia is a joke. Plactic football pitches, freezing cold weather, corrupt as hell, country is way too big...

Qatar, I can possibly understand. They have the potential to put ona  great WC.

 

Russia though.. Stupid, stupid decision.

Are you insane?

Average temperature in Qatar in june.....?  115 degrees.  Do me a favour.

Qatar has fuck all to do with football and will have to manufacture a culture around it.  Lots of cash sloshing around though.  Absolute joke!

 

 

Football is the number 1 sport in Qatar, i cant say the same for your picks Australia and USA, Middle eastern countries really love their football, their teams might not be good but they have passionate fans.

what?

lol

The Q league is a joke.  They all support English Premier league teams.

It may be their number one sport but thats not saying much.

That isnt even the main issue though...  115 degrees F average?.. come on!!!

I think the population of Qatar is less than 1 million... its a farce.  40c to 50c and nobody there...  it will be a huge flop and a total disaster.

it does not matter if their league is weak, as long as they have people who are interested in football, and it wont be just qatar, people will come from the whole region to see the world cup.

i agree with you on the weather, i was in the middle east last June, it was way to hot.
