It wasn't overlooked, it was eliminated in the first round with only one vote. Wiki says stadiums are used for other sports and domestic league overlaps with World Cup.
Plus host has guaranteed place, who knows when will Qatar qualify again. Oceania qualifying group is very weak on the other hand and you always qualify.
Yes, but they had agreed with the domestic codes to release the stadiums for the time period. Plus Australia now goes through Asian qualifying and how can you award the largest football occasion to a country that doesn't even have a domestic league? It's ludicrous.
It gets really humid here, and more than the heat from the sun it's the humidity that makes going outside uncomfortable. And at night it becomes increasingly humid at times.
Why the **** are we having the world cup in some terrorist filled country? The thing is probably going to be bombed to **** . Whoever picked the ******** which is the middle east to host ANYTHING is a complete ******* dumbass. We need to avoid that ******** corner of the world at all costs. Terrorists from OTHER countries are going to go there and blow **** up. This is ******* stupid...
It's a 3rd world ****** country like I ******* said. It's probably going to be over run with terrorists in a matter of time. The Middle East is a lost cause.
I don't understand why you keep showing me these pictures of the one in a million decent places in that ******** like it's something to be proud of. The country as a whole is a ******** .
Hello I am from Qatar. I think Qatar should host the world cup. its as qualified as any other nation. and we didnt bribe our way to the fife. We were able to host it because we presented the best profile and they voted for it. If you guys are interested you can check the Qatar 2022 bid video. Qatar is a rising nation that started a revolutionary growing up after 1996. My country is developing really fast. A lot of cities are still under construction and lots of the buildings for the world cup in 2022. not to mention Qatar is going to host the Olympics on 2020. check the Qatar's bid video for more instructions on how things would be handled in the heat.
I have no problem with the country of Qatar, but having a sporting competition there is dumb. People can't play world class sport when they're sweating buckets just standing in the shade. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there severe restrictions on alcohol there? Football supporters are basically all alcoholics, so they'll probaly just sit in their local pub with a pint and watch the game on TV instead of going there and watching it with a glass of cranberry juice.
