Qatar 2022: The $200 billion Gamble?

Qatar is attempting to move heaven and earth in order to achieve success:

This World Cup won't happen. I'm certain of it.

The Middle East is going to get seriously ****ed over the next decade. It'll be stripped and moved to one of the other bidders.

 

I think a lot of countries will boycott the tournament, possibly even boycott qualifying. If it actually gets that far! All these stadiums that are being built will just be useless after, if it comes off.
It should have been scrapped before it even got to the stage of voting. But it's all too late now, but not too late to hand it off to somewhere else!

 

This is one tournament I would expect us not to qualify for - should it go ahead as planned. Too hot, too much disruption to the domestic season and most of all too dangerous!

 

We'd still have the disruption to the PL season if we didn't qualify.
