Wonder if there’s any chance they’ll take the World Cup off Qatar now?
Can’t see it myself.

it's not too late to split the 2022 competition between 2 or 3 countries, say france/spain/englund, bung the Qataris £50 compo, countries with human rights issues should NEVER get awarded prestigious competitions, ridiculous
worth noting platini is only in for questioning
Q. Michel did you accept brown envelopes
A Naw

This will all end up as the master plan to take the cash and then bump them out the World Cup before next years champions league dates are announced for 2022. Which is coincidentally announced in September btw.

World cup going to a tiny backwards oil rich country and played in the winter. Whole thing stunk from the start.

The only two countries with the wherewithal to host the tournament at short notice are probably England and the USA who have the stadiums and infrastructure more or less already in place. Because the last tournament was effectively played in Europe the USA would be favourites … The only problem with that is half of the worlds FIFA delegates would probably be afraid to go there in case they got arrested

I am sure plenty other countries have the infrastructure in place, France, Germany, Russia, South Africa and Australia could all host it at short notice as well I’m sure.

Anyone surprised ?
It was a crazy decision and is all about the £££.
I wish someone would investigate the SFA. It needs disbanded for the sake of Scottish football and trust to be found again.

The logical choice would be Australia as they are the only country who haven't held it. I don't know, but was their bid centred around existing stadiums or were they in the position of having to build stadiums if their bid was successful? … if it was the latter 3 years is far too short a time frame to start on stadiums now. On that basis England would be a pretty good bet.
If it was to be the USA can I suggest they keep Diana Ross as far away from it as possible

Outside of the actual game their biggest failing has been an absolute inability to get something done about Hampden. They missed an absolute trick with the Commonwealth games and even with Hampden being chosen as a venue for the next Euro championships they have still failed to see it as an opportunity to squeeze some cash for an upgrade out of the UK or Scottish governments.

As for Platini/Qatar - someone's been bunged, that's a certainity so hopefully this is the start of a world-wide purge of all currently in positions of power at both FIFA & UEFA. The game so badly needs fresh, honest leadership and for me it can't happen quick enough. The damage done by decades of corruption under Blatter desparately needs repairing ! Talking of that slimy weasel - anyone know how & when his case is going to be in court ??

If Platini and hopefully Blatter get done the for the integrity of the sport, they have to take it off Qatar.

One of my all time favourite players and member of that great French side that imo should have won the ‘82 World Cup. I hope he is innocent.

Both competitions there should have been a clause for an upgrade but nope.
Incompetent and now we have SFA staff at Oriam and the rest in the west.

This is really quite a serious situation and big news, but nobody appears to be shocked or hugely surprised. For that reason the tournament will likely still take place as planned, but quite a few in high office will pay a big price and have to face the consequences for their influence in making it happen. People were calling this out as soon as they saw Qatar on the shortlist and before being awarded the World Cup.
