He also hated the English because of Falklands and he was a huge corrupt piece of poo pooquote:According to a former employee of the Qatar bid team, at least one adviser recommended that the Qatar Football Association make a payment of $78.4 million to help the Argentina Football Association, or AFA, dig out of a financial crisis that threatened the country's domestic league. This person said the payment was meant to help Qatar's relationship with AFA President Julio Grondona, who is a member of FIFA's executive committee. lol

If the Qatar football foundation sent me $78.4m it would improve my relationship with them greatly as well. Heck, I would do Michael Owen helicopter videos for them for the rest of my life for half of that.

If there's a Qatari football official reading this thread at the moment, I can surely be persuaded by a modest sum of money (say, only around $1 million) to become their forums spokesperson and defend Qatar against all trolling.

Hello, friend! I see you have found yet one more example of gracious and generous Qatari financial aid. I'm glad they are helping this world become united through the power of football. Truth be told, Qatar have worked hard to bring us the best World Cup, and I for one can't wait for it to start. Qatar Airways, fly to your football dreams

I have just returned from a week's holiday in an undisclosed location and I can in fact confirm that Qatar is cool and good and definitely won the World Cup fair and square on the merits of its bid and with no money changing hands at all, and anyone suggesting otherwise should be prepared for a lengthy legal and/or physical battle.

They'd have to change the format. Instead of the group stage and knockout round all teams would play a series of 7 friendlies.

It's a ploy to compensate for the high temps in Qatar. All games in 2026 will be held above the arctic circle to bring the average down to normal.

Not that it is a big surprise or anything, but scientists have shown that holding the WC in Qatar during summer would be a health hazard for the players and supporters.quote:
