Who said that the English or any other countries didn't influence or bribe for votes, you need to get out this mentality that the English or US think they're whiter than white, because we don't, and if you want I could give you a list the things Qatar did.

Corruption is corruption and needs to be sorted out, the whole bidding & voting needs to be made transparent, obviously not during a bid.

I didn't visited goal.com for a few days cause England are sore losers.. don't make me do the same here... >_<"

I admit my post is quite ridiculous but so most of the posts here. Fifa sucks, is this breaking news?

I would rather worry, complain and bitch about other more important flaws in fifa's system than a world cup in 2022.

No please do, lets hear your reasoning that England are sore losers. While your at it stick a cry me a river and whah whah in there while you're at it.  I mean lets not even talk about the dutch & belgian bid that had 4 votes in round 1 then lost 2 votes in round 2.

I can accept the results, as can most people, its done and dusted, but that doesn't mean people can't question the whole selection process, seems to me people are more delighted at the fact England haven't got it rather than Russia having it.

"This air conditioning will be powered by solar panels on the stadiums themselves. It is a $50 billion project designed by a German firm, Büro Albert Speer & Partner. The air conditioning system will reduce temperatures inside the stadium to 27°C, which will be a much more bearable temperature for both fans and players."

and with this, every argument has been rendered invalid.

Qatar will deliver, bitches!

Whilst personally I think Qatar was a bad choice, it doesn't mean squat, the decision has been made. Do I hope it's a shit world cup there? absolutely not I hope its a good one, I just have reservations it will be.

And you're right, there is many flaws to the whole FIFA system, but if people don't bitch & moan nothing will ever happen, if it means certain countries get tainted with this whole sour grape shite then so be it, but anybody who cares about football has to agree that something is fundamentally wrong with FIFA.

Edit: yeah Qatar probably will deliver with the air conditioning, probably also be the first host ever to get knocked out scoring 0 goals.

I always bitch and moan about it really. I'd start with the referee system.

Don't worry, it will rock in 2022! have you seen the post above?

"Edit: yeah Qatar probably will deliver with the air conditioning, probably also be the first host ever to get knocked out scoring 0 goals."

LOL

I hope so. I'd like to them out soon personally unless they magically stop sucking at football

Nah I know I'd like England to do well obviously, but I always feel that to make it a really special world cup the host has to stay in it as long as possible, I aint got no crystal ball so who know's they could actually be as good as England in 2022, ie shit.

It helps a bit if you are less serious on shallow threads like this one.

FYI, I root for england and I got depressed for a week at least when the Germans won (you can check wc thread actually and read my crying post lol). Lots of arguments here were built based on weather alone. "Bitches" was a complete joke, sorry if it offended you or anyone else. =)
