at any given time, 10,000 or more people are forced to toil in sweat shops, clean homes, labor on farms, or work as prostitutes or strippers.
sounds deplorable, but usa is a country of 300m, so its not like a huge percent of our economy is based on it.

catar is a country of 1.4m and like 400k are guest workers. what percent of those are treated unfairly? google makes it seem like a significant portion.

"If its been bought, dont lead other countries" is non-sensiscal for so many reasons, but is a silly and semantic discussion anyway that I'm willing to concede. Regardless, my point is that the valid reason to have it in Qatar is that it is for the whole Arab world which loves soccer, regardless of the history in Qatar itself. Nobody in Miami cares about sports (i kid, i kid), but they have Super Bowls and all kinds of big events there because they are throwing sick events for the rest of America, just as Qatar will throw one of the sickest events in Middle Eastern history FOR OTHER ARABS, not primarily for the citizens of Qatar and not for little Johnny. Whereas Miami's draw is weather, Qatar's is a brand new multi-billion dollar playground.

the argument that having it in the QATAR because the middle east likes football is quite similar to saying its okay to have it in liechenstein because europe loves football in my mind.

who is little jonny by the way?

Are you saying they don't have a winning tradition or something? That's true, but don't see why it is particularly relevant when rewarding fans.

2) I'll grant you that stadiums are easy to build if you have money. Infrastructure is something completely different. Does Qatar have the capability to host as many people as will be coming to the WC? No, they don't have the airport capacity or hotel capacity to do so. They could build a new airport and hotels, but they'll be empty every year except 2022, so it makes little economic sense to build them. US, Japan, Korea, Australia easily have the travel and accommodations to hold teams and fans.
They had a $12 billion surplus last year. If by some unforeseen disaster they need more money, they will just easily get financing from Dubai or someone while pledging their endless oil and gas reserves. If Great Depression 3.0 or whatever happens and that is somehow not an option, then yes we can have an emergency move to some country that already has stadiums and whatnot. Its a pretty unlikely event with a very easy solution though, so don't know why it should outweigh the prospect of an awesome spectacle. And lol at worrying about economic sense with oil sheiks, though like someone else said, they will probably end up pulling up a bunch of cruise ships for the hotel problem.

I have no clue where Liechenstein is, but if Europe had never held a World Cup in its history, no other European country was willing or able to host a World Cup, Liechenstein was willing and able to spend billions and billions of dollars to host the World Cup, and Europeans almost universally would be happy to have the World Cup in Liechenstein, then sure I would be all for it one time. But be careful, cuz you are probably going to have to wait another 80 years till your region gets the next one.

Little Jonny is the boy who is upset that he can't get wasted at the World Cup and bang hookers. Don't know why little Jonny is so insistent on mixing his boozing and banging hookers with watching soccer though. Pretty sure he can do the former anytime. Maybe the football players get him excited?
