Qatar Stats - This is Truly Pathetic. What a Joke.

[tommybooth]

we should put forward the isle of man for our bid next time.

I'm sorry but anyone who thinks that Qatar can put on a more enjoyable world cup than us (Australia) or the USA is having a fucking laugh. Your telling me you wouldnt rather be getting pissed up in New York, Sydney, Los Angeles and Brisbane having a great time. Rather than going to a completely concrete style jungle that is Qatar, with 45 fucking degree heat everyday and sand everywhere?:

Dont anyone tell me that 40 degree heat is enjoyable, its been 38 every day this week down here in Adelaide Australia and I cant fucking stand it. Imagine playing in that? THe whole thing is fucking ridiculous. The world cup can fuck off as far as Im concerned, in fact international football can fuck off. Its just a fucking distraction from City and allows fuckwits like Blatter and Twatini to have their stupid ego trips. BTW its an absolute disgrace that England did not get 2018.

Why is it a disgrace that England didn't get the 2018 World Cup? I'd love to have seen it hosted there as much as anyone but its not really a disgrace is it? Russia have as much right as we do to host it. They won, we didn't. Boohoo.

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.

not sure what your point is with regards the size of the place......how many football grounds are there in north west england?.......are you suggesting they won't have enough room for the stadiums to be built or summat? also isn't qatar an extremely wealthy country?......so it wouldn't surprise me if they are building air conditioned stadiums. why are you so against it? where did you want the world cup in 2022 considering it couldn't have been england and 2 of the other bidders were australia and america which both have places with extremely high temperatures. i find it strange that anyone gives a shit where it's held to be honest who cares.

Although in defence of Australia it'll be winter...

so it wouldn't surprise me if they are building air conditioned stadiums.

Well that's the match sorted, what about the other 22 hours in the day? Air conditioned footpaths? Some women may be up-burqaed though...

Dick. They have a population of a million and a half. What are they going to do with 6 - 12 world class football stadiums after the world cup? They could hold a 11 a side tournement every day and the whole country would have played there in a few years, and what would the North West do with 6 - 12 world class stadiums in a hugely football mad country? Give a few of them to Stockport County and Curzon Ashton?

Also, how is encouraging a country with that kind of population, helping football? What kind of tempo is the football going to be played in a 45oC?

And for the record, I now don't give a shit where they hold it, after Brazil, International football will continue its already rapid demise.

Are you a bit dim? If not, you should probably be aware that there are English people living abroad.

Then it's of little interest to you if it it played here then. I want to take my kids to a world cup and cannot afford to, and certainly have no desire to take them to world cup in Russia or Qatar. We had the best bid, therefore we should have hosted it. Pretty simple. Blatter had his palms greased and as we won't be sucked in to that type of behaviour, we are punished. It's a fucking joke.

There are, if you read further into the thread than the first post, loads of reasons apart from the size of the country why Qatar should not have been awarded the 2022 World Cup
