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

Disgraceful decision.

This is all about Blatter. Forget the votes, he made it clear years ago that he wanted to go down in history by giving the WC to emerging nations. He wants to play the big man and make political statements.

This one could well bite him in the arse though i think.

I've also passed through Doha international airport on way back from SA. Temp at midnight was still 100! We have posters on here that live and work in the region and they tell us how horrific the temps can be!

I'm just glad that the bids have gone to proper footballing countries where a great atmosphere is a certainty....just like South Africa.

 

[yerwot?]

the stadiums are all to be demountable and moved to third world countries after the event.The temperatures in the american world cup were similar to Qatar.Apparently these were important factors.It's all academic anyway,we wont qualify,and the middle east could be a smoking ruin by then.merry christmas everybody

Unless those fans are Jewish as they don't allow any in....

And the temp will be average of 115-120 degrees when it's to be played. Should be some great football played in that heat....

Lovely place, perfect.

All these laws will be relaxed. Jews, alcohol, etc.

And their high tech carbon neutral air conditioning will also be a wonder to behold.

Has nobody thought of Jewish alcoholics with severe heat rash?

FIFA subsidised nicotine patches should be provided.

not a chance they are going to get carbon neutral AC......the cost of providing power to the AC units to get a 20+ degree C internal temperature reduction will be vast....the only way they can get carbon neutral AC is via borehole technology and you dont get many boreholes under the desert

not without striking oil.

If you have two on you, can you still claim personal use or will you be done for preaching?
