World Cup controversy thread,Sepp seen leaving hotel with giant SWAG bags (32 Viewers)

No, it is NOT true. There weren't any stadiums located in Death Valley, the hottest location in the United States, where the average high is 115 degrees during the summer. 120 is the average high in Qatar in the same months.

It was "hot" in comparison to the normal temperatures seen in the US, not friggin' Doha.

Sour grapes.

It's called Qatar

Sorry for you guys. I really wanted WC 2018 to be hosted in Nottingham, Market Square would be an awesome place to celebrate.

Cheers I was expecting my phone to correct it but it didn't

I know, I'm pretty gutted, I'll be taking my back the bid 2018 sticker from my car window tomorrow after driving round with it there for nearly 2 years. I'm more sorry for the kids who would have experienced something wonderful.

So Qatar won by bribery and Russia not?

I don't know about Russia, but Qatar had no chance to win that without bribing the corrupt FIFA guys.

 

[K.O.]

Qatar won? Of course, they will as long as bribery is allowed in FIFA.

I don't know about Russia, but Qatar had no chance to win that without bribing the corrupt FIFA guys.

No. They won because their bid was the best.

 

[Ahmed]

Sour grapes.

that's unfair, he truly cares about the poor fans who will have to sit there in the heat.

can't believe the Qatar delegation did not take that into account before making their bid.

 

[Luca]

Answer the question honestly.

Or don't, i think you got the point now.

Also, how is this



any less of a rash statement than mine?

You know absolutely nothing about Qatar, and you actually showed that in the above quoted post.

How? I severely doubt that in Qutar people get so drunk they fall all over the place and get in fights, the women too. Its not a presumption, I know this because even when I go on holiday to a place like Spain people think we are excessive and crazy drunks. So it's no presumption.

Why should I answer on your demand?
You on the otherhand called into question the worthiness of a whole country, I merely highlights one difference in culture, maybe not a bad thing.
But your statement was full of negativity.

dude listen to yourself.

you think all this stuff won't be taken into account when security arrangements and logistics are put in place?

jeez!

I'm not saying they won't, I'm sure they will. And I'm further sure that they will do it well.

What Fred did and what I'm annoyed about is the fact that he categorically wrote off England as being a crap world cup host.

The majority of Doha residents are expatriates, there's a considerable number of westerners and especially Americans and British there, there probably won't be any shocks in that respect.


By your logic, even your statement of Qatar being capable is not valid, you've never been to the country after all, so how would you know if its capable or not?

Qatar Airways

They're probably celebrating like crazy. All those passengers, it's gonna be a huge profit for them.

 

[Ahmed]

as if we need the money

well you should read the stuff Nico and Andy have been saying, it's a case of just desserts.

How do you know they will. You're statement of you being sure Qatar will do well is just like me writing England off, except at different ends of the spectrum. When i wrote England off, you said i've never been to England therefore i am in no place to make such a statement, well by that logic you are in no place to say that you're sure Qatar will do well. You know absolutely nothing about the country.

 

[Nicholas]

What's the main religion in Doha Fred?

 

[Ahmed]

You're in on the take?

LOL my dad came in and I told him Qatar had won the bid and he's like "Hmm, let's go there, should be plenty of business"

 

[Fred]

Exactly. Congrats to Qatar again, i can't stress how happy i am for them.
