Naah they need that time space to host a great World cup in 12 years.
People from the outside think of Qatar as a Rich-spoiled country with tiny population that knows shit all other than spending their endless money pit. But the reality is different, yes they're rich as fuck but people (specially those who control the country) are a pretty smart people with a serious vision.
Qatar is not Dubai, Abu dhabi or Saudi Arabia. These Cities/countries share a similar wealth status that Qatar has but definitely not the mentalities that their leaders have.
Worked for years in all these countries and i've found rather different mentality in Qatar. They're just Smarter and more serious about their future....

This reminds of when V went crazy that one night and then sobered up later on 
Nick, you know this WC won't be televised right? Qatari's have yet to receive black&white TV's (scheduled to arrive in 2017). They're planning on selling some camels to buy their first camera for broadcasting purposes but that's just a dream at this point.

I look at what a WC would bring to each nation after the competition is finished. In that light, Russia is a very good choice. Their domestic league has improved over the years. Top players are coming from the RPL, and they are doing well in Europe (CSKA, Zenit). New stadiums/training centers will give an already ascending league an even bigger boost.
From FIFA's perspective, it is a very smart choice. A large nation with a wealth of natural resources and who straddle 2 continents. Investing in Russia's footballing future with a WC is a smart way for them to expand their presence in a potentially very lucrative market.
The above doesn't seem to apply as strongly to Qatar, but money talks. These filthy rich Arabs have more money than sense, so I'm sure it will be a fantastic event for the fans.
As for England's failure, is it really a surprise? You cant expect FIFA to award you an event after a concentrated smear campaign (regardless of it's validity) against them. You signed your own death warrant.

Some better than others.
The US, and basically Japan and Australia are multi-sport countries, it's not their national sport but it doesn't detract from capability or interest gathered.
Is it true that most of the stadiums will be made within a short distance of each others in a sports city complex, presumably near Doha, and that they will be 'flat pack' stadiums that will go up for the tournament and then be dismantled and sent to third world countries?
Nice gesture, places which actually can use a football stadium, which is basically my point. This has no legacy to leave in Qatar like it is doing in South Africa or will in Russia, or would in many other emerging candidates, it's just a 'look at me' gesture that is prevalent in the region, 'look what we can do'.
