ray Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I'm surprised FIFA hasn't snuffed this out at the trial balloon phase. OK, it's FIFA and I shouldn't be surprised. But if multiple countries are not part of the bid, should Qatar even have that option? http://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/story/2010/12/17/sp-fifa-qatar.html?ref=rss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeta Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Taking a "I'll believe it when I see it" approach about this whole Qatar 2022 thing. You kind of get the feeling stories/suspicions surrounding the awarding of the Finals aren't ever going to go away nor are some of the very legitimate concerns about the location. Not saying Qatar will lose the finals any time soon, just saying it wouldn't take too much of a turn with in FIFA to scuttle the venture at some point down the road. Especially if some evidence of shady business can be dug up by parties interested in sinking a Qatar finals. As to expanding the host location? Shrug. That's Blatter's FIFA. Making it all up as they go along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yomurphy1 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 ^ I've seen a few interviews and Ian Holloway is a legend. Back to topic, he so right if you awarding such a big thing to a country you'd hope they'd figure it out by now. This ridiculousness really spits in the face of all the other bids.

alberta white Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I Reckon after his Plattini Comment 95% of neutral English football fans would "JUST LOVE IT!" if Blackpool could finish high enough in the EPL to make European competition next season; If only to see Ollie and "Le Chien de Lap"* Plattini the same confrence room together, Presonally I'd give Hollaway the England Job next week. Forget the results. Just enjoy the entertainment! *It's Franglaise for (Blatters) Lap dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
