We're talking here about a country the size of Northern Ireland which up until a few years ago, was barely noticeable to anyone unless they dealt in the oil industry. They have only one stadium built, there's nothing in the country for tourists (there is Dubai, Abu Dhabi etc a short plane trip away, but Dubai and Abu Dhabi weren't bidding to host it), it's too hot, the laws are too strict (Brazillian women in bikinis will be getting arrested, so too will plenty of other football fans who will be drinking etc).
Politically yes, a World Cup in the Middle East is great for all that unity of the world stuff, but in practical terms, it makes no sense at all.
For all the above points, Qatar should host the world cup.
The world cup will change alot of things, it will improve life, people thinking, many things will change for better because of the world cup.
And if it is about the wether, i know alot of western people living in UAE and they enjoy the summer more than locals. We have around 180,000 only from UK living and enjoying life in UAE. And Qatar is not different
My question is, why world cup should be hosted during summer, why not during winter? it is once every 4 years.
What you are saying is, some countries because of hot whether during summer, should not host the world cup. i remember the world cup in USA was hosted actually during summer and it was hot aorund 40c.
because we've got our more important domestic seasons to be getting on with.
