FIFA World Cup 2022: Qatarded Discussion - No Politarding - Page 15 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Nobody could.

Anyway even with the air conditioned stadiums that people are saying they're gonna build its still the worst option ever for about a hundred other reasons. Unless you're a FIFA delegate who'll get 6 star VIP treatment or whatever. Then it'll be pretty damn sweet

It's fair enough really, but when the ****s don't give it to nation who are kinda ready to host it is rather annoying.

As long as we are going with unsafe places with no infrastructure like we have starting this year and continuing the next 12 years; the 2026 winner: Afghanistan

Haha, this was my exact response. I happened to see this on ESPN so I followed it. I started fantasizing about going and how sweet it would be, especially if it were in the US.

Then I my dreams got Qatar'd.

Way to go FIFA. Not only are you choices awful, but now you've screwed yourself out of hosting it in China til at least 2030. Well done, really.

No one worries about these things. They have a World Cup. No need to plan further. Pretty much the same issue with the Olympics.

I really hope Fahad Khalfan makes the 2022 roster for Qatar. I also really hope the US draws Qatar's group, although I'm sure FIFA will sell spots in that group to the highest bidder.

Are they planning on playing the games in front of people in Qatar? Who is buying tickets to go to a dry country where you can booze in "designated fan-zones". Congrats on allowing women to vote since 1999 though!

Judging by these announcements, FIFA seems more corrupt than the NCAA and SEC combined. Let me guess, Cecil Newton was the special advisor to FIFA on these decisions?

A lot of them are modular, so there are actually plans to ship them elsewhere.

On FSC they said that reports came out that as a part of Qatar's proposal they're going to tear down the stadiums and pay to have them shipped and reassembled in countries that can't afford to build their own stadiums (BUT CAN SURE VOTE FOR WHO GETS THE DAMN WORLD CUP)

Those 2 are in front simply because the cities are relatively close together and traveling from one game to another wouldn't be as much hassle as the other 2.

2022 kinda sucks for me whoever gets it but if I had to choose:

USA > OZ > SK = Japan >>>> Qatar

Sigh.
