Finals wich would fall on quatar national day 
What the fuck are people in charge of this thinking? Every single thing with this idea being played in winter is so fucking up everything and everyone except the quatar. Anyway you look at this it's a big nonsense. It's not even about Europe or elite clubs, it's just total nonsense that everyone should change their plans for two years just for this single event that makes no sense at all.
I mean if it messes up everyone plans shouldn't there be a consideration that the plan isn't so good in the first place and it might need a change, like change the location and problem solved?
A question which I can't seem to answer myself maybe you guys can help. Winter WC in Quatar, who are the benifitors and who get's it from behind? What is it so important and good about Quatar winter WC that the whole football world/bussiness should change for it?

It's not about winter or summer. If a place isn't suitable for it, find other place. Why mess up everyone bussiness in the process only because some rich elitist oil rich assholes want some prestige for their country?
The argument against elitist europeans is funny though, considering how and why the WC in winter in fucking desert is considered at all.

I don't get it, they have so much money. Why not build indoor stadiums?
Also, I don't get why people are crying. It doesn't bother me at all. As far as I know, ya'll are all going to be in front of your TV's watching the games. What does it matter if its in the winter or summer? We've had all kinds of world cups, some games in the middle of the night, other games early in the morning. Look at South Americans, the world cup is always played in the winter for them and the hours the games kick off are probably horrible as well. It is what it is, sometimes it fits us perfectly and sometimes it doesn't.
The only people that can whine are the different leagues and clubs who have to take a long pause in the middle of the season. But honestly, it doesn't bother be. Its their problem and they have to adapt.

Oh, so your whole irritation about Qatar getting the world cup boils down to Juventus having to stop playing games for about a month or so? I think Juventus and the whole league will be fine.
And it isn't the money that is moving the World Cup, it is the weather. I'm pretty sure Qatar would love to have the World Cup being played in the Summer like usual but at some point it just isn't feasible.
There are a lot of people around Qatar and the middle east that love the fact that the tournament has finally come close to them and they love the game and will definitely show up and support the cause, sheik money or not. Same way Africa, North America and all the other places outside of Europe that had the chance to attend the tournament.

How isn't it the money that is moving? If not for oul rich pricks the idea in the summer wouldn't have even been discussed.
And who the fuck cares if quataris and the desert neighbours are happy when it messes everyone elses bussiness? Next time lets do a hockey tourney in sahara, just so because some deversity is fun. Some places are just not suitable for some things.
And as for one month? Ar you really that deluded?

What is the difference between a big economy like Germany financing the tournament or some rich sheiks doing the same? The end product is always the same, good promotion for the country, business and the people of the country and the countries close by that get to enjoy attending the games.
The money(and the fact that the WC has never been held in the middle east) got them the tournament but its the weather that is moving the tournament to December.
Why would it mess up everybody elses business? Besides clubs, who exactly is being harmed in the World Cup being played in Qatar in December?
And thats obviously a bad comparison, how is a hockey tournament going to be played in Qatar? Football is very popular in the region, hockey is not. There is no interest but if there were they would probably build awesome arenas to host the thing.

One of the things I hate most about the NFL's SuperBowl is that it's almost always held in some warm-weather climate suitable for moneyed tourists on vacation. It also creates an unfair bias of weather conditions that favor teams built for playing in those conditions -- where many other division winners who built teams on defense and running games optimized for colder weather and snowy conditions lose that advantage. It thus gives the national championship of professional American football some cheesy veneer where the match seems biased and jokish.
Now maybe corruption and cash were rampant behind the WC Qatar bid. But the sport needs to play around the world in its various climates, IMO. That means the Middle East where teams that thrive better in desert climates should get an advantage.
Otherwise we already have the Euro every four years in temperate climates and European stadiums. We don't need to do the same for the World Cup.

We don't move the WC to the winter when it's played in the southern hemisphere.
Not saying I don't agree about the Qataris. Hell, play in Yemen for that matter. But to suggest that the WC should never be played in the Middle East is something wholly different, and I think there are a lot of people who think just that.
