Surely USA can't have 2022, they only hosted it a few years ago didn't they?
Another huge surprise!! Money talks......
Amateurs compared to Blatter. One man standing in the way of technology for a world wide sport spouting drivel on regular occasions. And Qatar for 2022, come on Ryanair lol
and Qatar gets the 2022... wonder just how much money they threw around eh? cynical, me? 🙄
thing is, quatar had a really good bid... i think they deserved it.
Some of what Qatar are promising & what they are planning to do with stadiums sounds incredible - mildly scary I'll be 45 then....
Ok then lets all get behind the England 2026 bid...
gets out map find Qatar
Excellent an a bsolute monarchy so another good call there morally
My money is on Mymar/Burma for the next one at this rate
I'm not sure Qatar's bid is entirely environmental given what they propose to do with the stadiums and the population's only 600,000. That's like a small city but with a shedload of cash! I'm not saying we should have had it but it'll be over 50yrs since we did and given our crowds etc I kind of think that seems a little odd.

The earliest England can get it is 2030 IIRC.
at least people North of Watford might have benefitted/seen it....
unless you wanted to watch england. peoples heads will fall off if they don't play every game at wembley.
with a temp range of 29-46 degree c there wont be much football seen there - perhaps they are building air con stadia?
Hard to see why a place so small gets it - oh yes thery are rich and fully aware of backsheesh

Apparently Qatar have plans to build outdoor stadia with cool air from to pitch to either 6' or 6m into the air (I can't remember what measurement was quoted!), using solar panels to supply the energy to run the air conditioning fans. They have to do this as fifa rules don't allow world cups to be played indoors.
Will the final match be in a volcano with a secret roof?
Yes. I'm pretty sure for their legacy bit of it they said all the stadiums would be dismantled after the tournament & given to the starving people in Africa.
yep qatars bid was to build zero emission? solar powered enclosed? stadia then dismantled and sent to the 3rd world
Kimbers - its the developing world;-)

I was right for once, at least it will cost us nothing more, we could spend the cash on gritting the cycle tracks now.
Damn! Does this mean we can't look forward to a re-re-release of that timeless Baddiel and Skinner classic?

I'm sure we can add to their retirement fund - provided we manage to qualify...
I reckon we would have stood a better chance of winning if that **** Beckham had bothered to get a haircut and have a shave:
Scruffy ****!
Football is just useless apart from being parasitic.
