Qatar 2022 Stadium Pictures

[downham seagull]

Are there only 8 stadiums and is 45,000 enough on average apart from the 85,000 one ?

I think it's a good & fair choice for a World Cup, you can't just ignore the Middle East because they're shite at football..

Nothing to do with footballing ability at all.

It's not good because they don't have the stadiums, fans, climate or culture to host a world cup. AND they plan on removing the stadiums afterwards. What is the point?

It's not fair because Australia had a far superior bid to them, they have fans, the passion, the arenas and a far more liberal, welcoming culture.

The most deserving country in regards to achievements & interest would be Saudi Arabia, but it would be too impractical and unsafe to host it there.

You wait, I'm very excited about the announcement of Saudi 2026. There will be a small media storm when it's announced that women won't be allowed in the stadiums, but Sepp Blatter will tell us it's all OK as they will set up small TV viewing rooms at Border Control in Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Oman and the UAE (but not Yemen) so the ladies can watch on TV and wait for their husbands to return.

What was superior about it? The fact that Qatar can build everything virtually from scratch & are willing to spend mega bux on it makes it a pretty damn strong bid!

No it doesn't. It makes it a farce.

I had no idea Sauron was into his football.

LOL, but please don't set off the conspiracy theorists!

Personally, I think a redeveloped Home Park would have been far superior.

If it does all go wrong at the last minute and they can't host it, what would be the chances of us getting it? How many countries could hold a World Cup at short notice, who haven't had one recently? We could, I would have thought.

Good point. I wonder if there's a committee somewhere, quietly making contingency plans? Would all big events have a "Plan B"?

How ready are Brazil for 2014 ? That is more of a concern than Qatar

Don't really care, think we should boycott it and avoid even talking about it.

I completely agree with you - the fact its in qatar is a joke the whole process is corrupt - probably spend a billion quid on the stadiums that will never be used again. I hope blatter and his cronies all get sun stroke.

Blatter will be 86 in 2022. Any sun-stroke will be a blessed relief from dementia.
