The first country to be awarded the tournament that has not yet appeared at a World Cup. Obviously don't include the first competition when Uruguay hosted it. Lots of money in envelopes persuaded FIFA bigwigs to award it to that nation. Unbelievable Jeff.
Until I will waiting for the world cup - 2022 I will watch Australian football cup. Australian football is very funny and the team shows a beautiful match.
This is right but Mexico is stifling heat as well in the summer and just been awarded 2026. You're talking about a team a lot worse than Saudi Arabia and Panama and they'll be seeded in the group! Russia as a team were written off as rubbish (and probably wouldn't have qualified) but being hosts propelled them to achieve what they did with the crowd behind them etc and that's the joy of the tournament. They're still a decent set of players in terms of European leagues. The best Qatar are going to do is naturalise a few Brazilians in time for 2022 who might help them keep the score down. How romantic.
BBC et al have all got on the bandwagon of Qatar's secret campaign against rivals: World Cup 2022: Qatar bid team accused of secret campaign to sabotage rivals World Cup 2022: Qatar bid team accused of secret campaign to sabotage rivals Will FIFA do something about it? Highly unlikely, the money's gone, already spent, the horse has bolted. Happy reading!
