I think there is a very good chance it will be moved. Otherwise a lot of countries will boycott the cup and it will be a total failure. I don't see the conflict being resolved before 2017.
Italy will no doubt boycott it especially after what happened in 2002 and 2006.
Any ways did anyone hear blatter's speech just now?
after what has happened this week with the corruption scandal going on, blatter didn't mention one word of it, instead he talked about promoting beach football and giving oceana more powers and to top it off joked how people over 50 are old ffs is this clown for real?
Those who voted for blatter are just as guilty, corrupted and bent as anyone else if you ask me
Qatar's bid was centered around technology and manipulation of temperature. One of their proposals consisted of big A/C blimps flying around the country and air conditioning the stadiums. Both of which were questioned by everyone but Qatar and FIFA. As it turns out, neither is possible and we're having the world cup in December.
So theoretically, Jamaica could win a bid for the world cup by promising to add 300% more island mass by the start of the games.
1200 already dead in construction?? What the fuck?? Anyone looking into this matter?? This is fucking disgraceful and inhumane! 1200 people dead building fucking football stadiums? Are they stadiums or fucking modern day, arab gas chambers? Fuck Qatar and fuck FIFA!
I am .. I would surely love going to the event which is 45 mins from where I live.. would be an experience for sure. but if its not meant to be then its not meant to be.. my point is that the british media in specific are restless about the WC in Qatar..
They don't give a fuck about the people dying, they themselves are vampires too, only reason they bashing the arabs is cause they're not getting their way and now they'll take moral high grounds.
Regardless Qatar cannot and will not happen, but most have to question what is it they truly value, the loss of human life or hosting the biggest tournament of the world

Well obviously a lot of FIFA officials didn't care, because they accepted the bribes and assigned the World Cup to Qatar. Clearly the rest of the world does care. Because even if people like Fred like to defend themselves by saying the US is bad too, the general public simply does not accept human rights violations. If they happen on such a massive scale as in Qatar and it becomes clear the World Cup was assigned to them through bribery, you can bet people are going to be offended.

I like to believe people are inherently good. However due to how our society is, they'll forget about it very fast and the struggle will continue. And these issues are only raised when there is a conflict of interest unfortunately.

Heck all the issues that south Africa and Brazil had evaporated after the world cup was over ffs

Well not to sound defensive of anyone but FIFA officials didn'tknow before hand that Qatar will treat human beings like slaves to build their fancy stadiums. They knew however that the country has a fucked up climate in the summer which is not appropriate to host such an event and it would mess up two regular seasons just for some nouveau riche kid fulfills a dream of hosting the World Cup.
I think not. The human rights thing is just going above and beyond specially in the Qatar case. If you look at the latest report this is the only card being played right now..
Surely I agree with you about the climate, screwing the football season as a result of moving the dates and the rich part.. but the media (british to be precise) isn't bothered with this ..
there were many issues in Brazil but it wasn't as noisy though..

I don't believe that at all. Slave labor has been a problem in Qatar for many years. I remember seeing documentaries about this kind of stuff way before there was even talk of hosting the World Cup there. The least a FIFA official should have done is look into it.
