Ameritoon Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Writing was pretty much on the wall after gifting Fox the '26 rights. Painful we could've been in England in 2018 and pretty much anywhere else for 2022 and now here we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-more Mag Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 It's a good bet Qatar will be under ISIS control by 2022, so I'm not too worried. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Incandenza Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Obviously, Qatar should not have been granted the 2022 world cup. Their bid was corrupt, their economy is essentially built on modern day slavery, they have no footballing history etc. However, moving it to the winter, I don't mind. If you ignore all the Qatar bullshit and look at the concept of a winter world cup in of itself, ruling out a winter world cup is tantamount to saying no country in the middle east can ever have a world cup. Thats not fair, no matter how ridiculous the idea of a middle east world cup might seem right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Not fair Might as well give them the winter Olympics while we're at it. Wouldn't be fair to look them over just because they don't have snow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Incandenza Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thats different though, because countries with warm winters don't play winter sports anyways, whereas all countries play football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixx Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 In other news the handball World cup was held in Qatar last month. Dear me was that a farce. Germany got into the tournament through the back door, the referees were very obviously paid off and Qatar fielded a team with player-mercenaries from all over the world. The Qatari's even reached the final by way of very dodgy refereeing but fortunately lost. Handball isn't completely rid of corruption no less than football but this was a sad affair. This winter WC will be a disaster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thats different though, because countries with warm winters don't play winter sports anyways, whereas all countries play football. I could not give less of a shit. They have about 10 professional teams and they're all fucking shit. As you say, all countries play football. So perhaps once the top 100 football playing nations have had their turn hosting a world cup, then we can consider a middle eastern world cup. Until then, they should all pipe the fuck down.

Guest Incandenza Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thats different though, because countries with warm winters don't play winter sports anyways, whereas all countries play football. I could not give less of a s***. They have about 10 professional teams and they're all f***ing s***. As you say, all countries play football. So perhaps once the top 100 football playing nations have had their turn hosting a world cup, then we can consider a middle eastern world cup. Until then, they should all pipe the f*** down. I wasn't taking objection to the statement 'Qatar shouldn't host a winter world cup', I was taking objection to the statement 'There should never be a winter world cup'.

There should never be a winter World Cup because the earth will cease to exist before a Middle Eastern nation deserves to host a World Cup. Or at the very least, the icecaps will melt and Doha will be under water. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 As ridiculous as it is, I actually think it's going to be quite fascinating to see how the leagues and broadcasters deal with it. Heard one suggestion that we just carry on like when the Africa Cup of Nations is held. That would be class IMO. Massively unrealistic of course.
