No one who speaks German could be an evil man.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

One the one hand it was an awful idea to have the World Cup in Quatar, on the other hand there's 7 years to go which is plenty to prepare for a World Cup in winter. Saw that if English clubs kick up a fuss FIFA might apply to UEFA to ban English clubs from Europe.
I don't mind a World Cup then, would prefer final to be the 18th December rather than 23rd though (both a possibility) as the 23rd is too close to Xmas, think that the big boys think they run football though (the big clubs) so to put them back in their place might not be a bad thing.
So it's better to have an overtly corrupt world governing body taking backhanders from nasty, human rights abusing, terrorism supporting, oil states that have no association whatsoever with football? Is that really the best way to teach the big boys a lesson? What sort of lesson? Corruption pays? Handsomely?
Whether it's hosted in Qatar or on the Moon is a secondary issue. The fact FIFA (and UEFA) is so rotten, so riddled with corruption and so willing to flaunt it is the key concern. If we want sporting principals to prevail in our own leagues then systematically rooting out corruption in the game should be a priority, starting at the top.
I just don't get why 7 billion people are prepared to sit around and be dictated to and robbed by a handful of unimaginably greedy and immoral bastards. Every single leader we have, not just in sport but in all walks, is a bad leader at best and a criminal in the main. When are the rest of us going to do something about that?
Getting dragged into schedules and player availability and bullshit like that misses the point. It bypasses the important questions that even a child should be able to figure out. For instance, why is the summer/ winter thing an issue at all? If Qatar bid for a summer tournament and it was an unsuitable venue for that tournament due to the temperature then why did it get selected as the host. Let's step back to that point and deal with it. No point running off down the track and arguing over the symptoms when the cause should be the primary focus.
Fans could do something about this. They won't.
Most of them will just accept it and as more and more corruption takes root they'll accept that too. You may not mind the Christmas treat but to accept it you must also accept the corruption. Do you?

It's not about one thing being better than another, Qatar has been chosen whether we like it or not and the ordinary fan has never had a say as to where a World Cup should be, I agree Qatar is a terrible choice but what's done is done and now you have to make the best of it and having the World Cup clashing with the winter Olympics certainly doesn't work, that leaves having it late in the year. It should be easy enough for most leagues as they can just shift their winter break. more difficult for the PL perhaps but I've got little sympathy, they don't do anything in the interest of football either they generally do things because of money.
It's a one off and in 7 years time, it's hardly the end of the world.
You completely miss the point. And it's a small part of the end of the world. Add up all the corruption across all aspects of society and it does indeed add up to the end of the world. It can't lead anywhere else.

Blatter to the rescue. A victory for football. This is like a rapist generously promising he'll cum on your tits. No thanks necessary.FIFA president Sepp Blatter promised that the Qatar World Cup in 2022 will not ruin Christmas for football fans.
Blatter, arriving in Belfast for the rules-deciding IFAB summit, insisted that the World Cup final will not be played on December 23 as a FIFA workshop floated in Qatar this week when agreeing on a November-December World Cup schedule.
Instead Blatter said that FIFA would recommend that the 28-day tournament would finish no later than December 18, which would potentially allow the Premier League to resume on Boxing Day.
