'Cos they're probably the only one not bankrupt ?. One thing's for sure, the bitter Western Qat's out the bag.

a country that is half the size of wales!

not a real footballing country

no real stadiums

94% of qatar is sand!

temp will be 50C!


how will they cater for fans, players, media etc from 32 footballing countries?


daybreak morning show on ITV mentioned the following 'concerns' 🙂 :

-its a Muslim countries so i take it no alcohol for fans even though they have said there will be 'designated areas ' where fans can drink. As drunks are jailed in qatar


-i take it the brazilian samba girls wont be allowed at the world cup lol will women without hijab be allowed in the stadiums etc


- will gays be allowed


i suppose the above points are scaremongering or are they?

I think a vital part of their bid was that since all the stadiums they build will not be needed in such a small country after the tournament, they will dismantle them brick by brick and then donate them to other countries.


I wonder how many of the countries who could recieve the donations decided to vote for qatar?


It is still quite an achievement.


Go Qatar.


Can I have a Q? Can I have an A? ...
