    Who fuckin cares about this corrupt tournament.

    I won't bother watching it. The game is ruined, and the sooner we all stop feeding the cunts with cash by watching, the better.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    I am all against Qatar getting the WC because everything about the bidding process was as clean as the tap water in Bangladesh.

    However, does bad weather just mean that the Middle East should never host a WC? If it is the world cup, every nation with the resources should have a decent shout. I think being flexible for one year to host the WC in winter will be a good challenge. May be it should not be for a nation like Qatar, but our fixation that a WC should only happen in the month of June/July needs to be overcome.

    The Middle East is not a viable place to hold the world cup, not because of the weather in summer but because none of these states have any respect for human rights, fairness or openness. Once Democracy, women's rights and freedom of/from religion comes to these places then perhaps they should be able to host an international tournament.

    I recall as part of the bid was reassurance re airconditioned stadium to take account of the heat, solar powered to not ruin the environment, why wouldn't you believe an extremely rich oil producing country that this wouldn't actually be the case. Now where are those thick envelopes to help keep me cool by wafting them?

    I think having air conditioned stadiums is not a problem for the Arabs... what is the problem is the 'experience' for the fans. You cannot get AC on the streets for the fans to 'soak in the WC atmosphere'. WC is a lot about the fans experience and in the summer heat of Qatar, you cannot experience anything other than a heatstroke!
