The real problem, as shown by the reasons for the corrupt voting for Qatar, is that the people with the power to make Qatar stop killing its slaves through dangerous work are heavily financially benefitted by allowing Qatar to keep killing its slaves.

Australia has the stadiums, transport infrastructure and climate to make a mid year world cup awesome. The only thing Australia doesn't have is a government willing to suspend taxation law and the constitution.

Antarctica would be a good shout if they moved to 40 teams because if you held it in the Antarctic summer you could play games 24 hours a day without artificial lighting.

They would probably find some way to make it 10 4 team groups so that Sep's son and Match Accomodation could profiteer even more than expected but saying Surprise 2 more venues to Russia might cause some annoyance.

CareyB posted:Dont Fifa make countries change laws on advertising and tax when there's a world cup quite frequently? One of the many reasons they love to send it off to corrupt poo poo holes. Part of the reason the Australian bid failed so spectacularly is the government said under no circumstances would the world cup be made tax exempt.

As far as I see it the next 2 World Cups in Russia and Qatar are going to be a farce anyway. Might as well salt the earth and start again. Yes, I am sure Platini and Beckenbauer are shocked and appalled by the behaviour of Qatar and will leave FIFA to show it.
