    Sooner or later the rest will follow suit. They all recognize that depending on revenue from oil exports is not sustainable in the long term.

    There's no reason why they can't diversify their sources of income, and that is the direction Dubai is taking already, with Abu Dhabi following suit.

    Its always been more of a political game in FIFA anyways, this isn't the first time, nor will it be the last time.

    Bin Hammam and the Prince aren't exactly on best terms mind you. I think it was because they had the best bid. They were the ones that were most committed to make things work.

    They wouldn't need to have it in the winter anyway, but it would be cool if they did have it at December/January.

    Ya, i mean i'm pretty sure there are more Americans in the gulf than there are Emarati's or Qatari's in America. I said "most probably" because i have no actual empirical evidence that supports my claim, but i think its very fair to assume its true. The whole logic is flawed though, because even...

    Ok i change it to gulf country then :D My point is, if your going to apply that logic, then why don't you ask yourself why people come from the US to the gulf, but not from the gulf to the US. It shows you how flawed your logic is, unless your willing to admit that the gulf is a better place...

    In general more Westerners come to the gulf than gulf nationals go to the West, the latter only happens for education reasons. There is very little reason for a Saudi or an Emarati or Qatari to move to the West, there are lots of reasons why Americans, British and Australians come to the gulf...

    Meh, we have different standards to whats hot and whats not. In the countries i just mentioned, the temperature can reach 36-37'C. But i don't really consider that to be hot, especially without the humidity. Now you're just being an American
