I hope normal Arabs aren't priced out of attending games.

Same thing was said about the South Africans and they showed up.

South Korea and Japan are quite different from Qatar for multiple reasons.

Current temperature in Doha right now... 41 degrees, from Sky Sports.

Different or not, there is about 40 million people in the Gulf and I think those are the people that will show up, and probably people from other Arab countries as well.

Yeah, the heat on the other hand, thats fucked up.

Qatar won it.

Fuck the fucking states of America,and enough of hearing our beautiful game being called soccer.

It's silly to say no one will come and watch,the football fans in mideast are ten times more than those of USA,Japan and Korea.

One of the England bid presenters on Sky Sports just said, "now we have to comprehend why we didn't get the bid."

Don't you already know? You didn't offer enough "incentives."

"Bad day for football fans." Too true.

 

[Nicholas]

They're right, it's a terrible day for the football purists.

The thing that gets me the most is that all the other previous countries have had some culture and beauty to them and it was awesome seeing the distinuishing characters of the country itself as part of the game and as a background.

Qatar is barely a country, are they just goning to show all the oil refineries and empty land when the World Cup goes there? They could make some pretty sick buildings there's no doubt but come on, Qatar over Australia, Japan, and US?

pwned.

If you're angry with whoever's in charge ie FIFA or the countries and the bribes etc that is understandable. What are you referring to as football purists, I have difficulty in understanding this, are you implying that real culturally football cultivated fans will not be watching this or only live outside the vicinity of the middle east? Rather unfair don't you think? Unless you are referring to the country themselves that I may understand, England for example breathes football since ages whereas Qatar may not be as passionate as a country

 

[icemaη]

I will be there!

 

[Ahmed]

as will I!

Yes, because 80 degrees Fahrenheit is actually 120.

But I forgot. You lot aren't into science, so you don't accept temperature as a physical property.

It's pointless comparing Qatar to European countries anyway as they weren't in direct competition, it's Qatar versus other Asian countries plus USA.

But Qatar will be the best.

 

[Albertmare]

Me too , Amen !

 

[K.O.]

Bollocks to that, so if people oppose a Qatar bid they are racist Europeans?

I think you got that wrong. Andy said "Europeans don't like the Arab world" and I think that is what Sevenplusone was referring to.

 

[JuveJay]

But Qatar will be the best.

Based on, because you say so?

 

[Hængebøffer]

But Qatar will be the best.

I hope, but have too wait and see. After this year's WC I have to say I don't like the gamble.

 

[Bjerknes]

Based on "It's not the evil West."

Although it might be good that we lost the bid for 2022. It slightly reduces our risk of retaliatory terror attacks.
