Of course there are a lot of political/social reasons why the WC shouldn't be granted to Russia, but at least there is a prospect it working on a sporting basis - but Qatar!?!? I seem to remember when it was first granted the Qataris claimed they would air-condition the atmosphere but now it seems the WC will be moved to winter, thus disrupting every other competition. England has very low influence in the soccer world - for reasons I don't understand, everyone seems to hate us - but with Germany now suggesting UEFA should leave FIFA we may be in a different place. If the major European nations decided to pull out of the WC gravy train, the remaining gravy wouldn't moisten a peanut. |
