Raconteur Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Hahahaha - if Australia was awarded the 2022 World Cup after it was stripped from Qatar, we'd be exiled from the Asian Federation and back to playing with Nauru and Papua New Guinea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives Australasia their ‘turn’ and as mentioned, they wouldn’t require much work to host it at short notice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandamninator Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Qatar have already built stadiums and spent £bns. Nee chance. I'm sure if it get's bad enough FIFA will magically just all of a sudden discover a pile of evidence of various Qatar bid wrong-doing, sacrifice a couple of middle tier execs and use it as an excuse. No doubt the bidding and hosting agreements contain clauses for the World Cup to be stripped in those circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt the bidding and hosting agreements contain clauses for the World Cup to be stripped in those circumstances. Don’t get me wrong it’s bent as fuck but it’s surely too far down the line. The corruption and subsequent loss of life has been obscene, to turn back now would take cojones not available in Fifa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Surely can't strip it from Qatar and then give it to a country who's fans have been terrorising Europe for the last 3 years Russia had it last year. Agree with what others have said though. Surely too late to move it after all the lives lost building the infrastructure to host it, not to mention insane money spent.

Anon Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Fuck, I can't believe I'm going to defend this in any way, but the construction deaths that are always touted need to be taken with a pinch of salt because when you have 100,000s men aged 18-55 doing construction for the best part of a decade, there is a percentage which are statistically expected to die which then get included in these "X number of men died making stadiums". Are they treated well? No. Are they all dying like 1900s miners? No. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
