The bit where it says Amnesty Int and the Filipino Gov have also called for investigations into the police after members they sent to Qatar were tortured while under arrest, pretty much hints how few fucks Qatar gives about resolving this in a way that doesn't make them look like Bond villains.

Can't believe FIFA was sending so little his way that he had to get involved in a non-FIFA scam.

What he actually said is that if Deschamps calls him up he will have to go. So basically nothing will happen since you have to figure that Ribery already talked to Deschamps about this when he retired.

Deschamps should call up Platini instead.

Well, Qatar's at least admitted that they actually have them in custody now.quote:Qatar's foreign ministry said on Saturday, in its first comment on the case, that the men were arrested and "being interrogated for having violated the provisions of the laws of the state of Qatar," according to a statement carried by the official Qatar News Agency. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/sep/07/qatar-detains-humn-rights-british-workers

http://www.espnfc.com/league-name/story/2025540/headline?ex_cid=espnapi_internal So Sepp has this to say about Uruguay holding a World Cup quote:And Blatter added: "Uruguay [has a] great history in the game but [is] a very small country. It is difficult for them to host a World Cup. Uruguay-Argentina together? Yeah." Qatar with it's noted large tracts of land however is good to go
