Qatar: 2022 World Cup Hosts:
Here are the stats on Qatar (now tell me somebodies palm didn't get greased when they voted for this shambles):
Population - 2010 census - 1,696,563 (So perhaps Manchester should make a bid next time with 2,600,100 population?)
Area - 4,416 sq miles (Or North West England should put a bid in, at 5,469 sq miles?)
So in summary a country smaller than North West England with a population a third less than Manchester is going to SOME HOW host the world cup in 46oC temps. Pathetic.
