To be fair this is the most Swiss thing he could have done. It's up there with saying the Nazis aren't so bad while handling their gold

FullLeatherJacket posted:that, plus while I don't want to go too far into "hurrah for the Raj" territory, in a lot of the world that's the accepted way of doing business and Mozambique has exactly the same say at FIFA as Germany or Argentina does I really disagree with this take. It implies that the reason the WC is in Qatar is because some poor African nations voted for it despite objections by the more noble, but outvoted big countries. The reality is that Platini, Teixeira and Grondona were the major names pushing Qatar. So UEFA, CBF and AFA. Blatter even publicly admitted that Spain/Portugal and Qatar traded votes. This mess is being done with the full support of the then leaders of the major soccer federations.

This isn't quite how the voting works, there were 22 representatives that voted according to this article and they were: Sepp Blatter (Switzerland), Julio Grondona (Argentina), Issa Hayatou (Cameroon), Chung Mong-joon (South Korea), Jack Warner (Trinidad and Tobago), Angel Maria Villar (Spain), Michel Platini (France), Geoff Thompson (England), Michel D'Hooghe (Belgium), Ricardo Teixeira (Brazil), Mohamed Bin Hammam (Qatar), Senes Erzik (Turkey), Chuck Blazer (United States), Worawi Makudi (Thailand), Nicolas Leoz (Paraguay), Junji Ogura (Japan), Marios Lefkaritis (Cyprus), Jacques Anouma (Ivory Coast), Franz Beckenbauer (Germany), Rafael Salguero (Guatemala), Hany Abo Rida (Egypt), Vitaly Mutko (Russia). So it's not like all of UEFA voted for Qatar just because Platini did as there are other UEFA members there on that list.

But we do know that the three main people pushing for it were Teixeira, Grondona and Platini. We also know, because Blatter has said so, that Spain and Portugal helped organize vote trading so Qatar would help get votes for Portugal/Spain in 18 and Qatar 22. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/600649-fifa-concedes-qatar-and-spainportugal-traded-votes-in-world-cup-bids My point wasn't that UEFA voted as a block. But that the main pushers for Qatar were in the biggest federations, not some football backwaters.

Oh sure sorry I wasn't saying you were wrong just clearing up that it wasn't voted per federation, rather worse than that. Saw that same article about Spain/Portugal when I tried to see if who voted for whom could be found.

The team accommodations will be air conditioned, but whenever a team is 48 hours out from playing Qatar, said air conditioning will mysteriously malfunction.
