Message: [QUOTE="Scumbag, post: 2346601, member: 7738"] This could be easily the worst choice for a hosting nation bid of all time. All week bookies have been letting anyone who wanted to know about the constantly shortening odds for both Russia for 2018 and Qatar for 2022. It got to the stage where both countries were so odds on for the respective World Cups that it was truly something to take note of. Fast forward to the so called "bid voting" and even an hour before the supposedly "secret" ballot and results were to be revealed we had news agencies all over the world and very strong mail that the Qataris had it. They were even reportedly seen embracing each other. In the wash up, it comes out that in the first round of voting, Qatar managed to get 11 VOTES. You need 12 votes out of 20 voters to all agree on a host country over the four rounds of voting. 11/20 in the first round! Qatar was EASILY the worst option in terms of population, venue capability, security and atmospheric conditions for all involved. It ranked stone motherless last on the official reports and critiques of all the bidding nations for 2022. We all know that money and money only makes the world go round. There has to be a limit to what money can buy however. This is the worst possible country to hold the cup out of any of the applicants, and I daresay the worst possible out of any nation you like, except the African countries. Absolutely blatant corruption is the ONLY thing which could have secured the landslide votes for Qatar and Russia in 2018. Qatar was truly the worst possible outcome, yet it came out the undisputable winner. FIFA is, to no one's surprise, affording a World Cup to anyone who has the deepest pockets and the Qataris most certainly do. Not only in terms of what they can appease Blatter and his band of merry men with in the bidding for the cup, but also in terms of what the fully loaded suitcases they can distribute around to all the voters on the 20 strong list. This whole "voting" process is, unsurprisingly, a farce. FIFA knew what they wanted and who they'd decided on months ago. FIFA knows who they want for the most generated profit in hosting the cup and FIFA also knows who they want in the big games. What FIFA wants, FIFA gets. Just ask Australia back in Germany in 2006, Australia and dare I say England in South Africa and all the other "bidding nations" of this latest hosting campaign. Absolute corruption of the very highest order. After this, anyone and anywhere can lay claim to hosting future World Cups. A committee wouldn't even have to prepare an official report. Just set Blatter and co aside and show them the big dollars in a nice case and it's all yours. FIFA WORLD CUP 2026 - SILENCE'S STREET [/QUOTE]
