FIFA would jump at the chance to host the final at the largest stadium in the world even if its previous uses include execution by burning

They would need to find a way to heat the stadium for the new winter WC, and probably brand it as a green energy source.

The corpses of indentured slaves are a renewable energy source that I am only too sure Qatar would export.

FIFA won't stop at artificial surfaces for women. Next it will be leather pitches made from the skin of slaves, and stitched together by child labor.

This won't happen overnight either. It will require lots of testing and perseverance.

I look forward to pitches made entirely of human hair, with belly buttons for penalty spots and ground up teeth for painting the white lines

I look forward to one of Qatar's stadiums not being complete and so them just paying a thousand Nepali slave labourers to lay down in the middle of the desert and let a football match be played on their backs. Best part is then they can double dip and count those thousand people as extra in the attendance figures.

In shocking news, it turns out it was in fact the English bid that was corrupt, not the honourable gentleman from Qatar.

Its going to be in November 2022 and FIFA will be insanely corrupt forever unless ISIS conquer Qatar and cancel the world cup like they threatened. Remember that Jack Warner threatened to leak poo poo about everything and then is mysteriously didn't happen

Jack Warner had the FA jumping through hoops for him all while slating them in the press and now he's been kicked out of FIFA, FIFA can use that to slate the FA for sucking up to him. Incredible

Actually I think you'll find that Documented evidence of an activity resembling football can be found in the Chinese military manual Zhan Guo Cecompiled between the 3rd century and 1st century BC.[9]

The first 19 pages are all filler about the process. In literally one of the first paragraphs of the actual report they state they decided to exclude all evidence by a whistleblower because they talked to the press

They've accused Australia of bringing fifas name into disrepute too. They've literally attacked the 2 nations who were calling for the report louder than any others and then gone on to clear Qatar while saying 'Some individuals made problematic actions' and not expanding on it, and that Russia failed to provide almost any documentation.

They're unreal.
