Sepp Blatter from FIFA was asked who his favorite Qatar player was..... He replied....... Eric Clapton..

Thank you .... Thank you very much.

The whole FIFA selection process is corrupt.  The 94 WC held here in the US was the most profitable ever.  We would probably break that record again.  It comes down to dollars, FIFA was unwilling to wait until 2022 to get their payoff, so they got it now under the table from Qatar.

They still need to finish all ofheir stadia and install A/C as temps can be as high as 115F in the summer.

It might be cause I'm so sleepy, but that made me laugh. Out loud. Good one.

I think the over/under on goal differential for Qatar's three games will be -15.

As for the money, yeah...the cynic in me has to assume some financial finagling considering how much money was thrown around over the table during the bid. That said, I do believe they'll have the facilities completed and in world-class condition by 2022. Adequate security, terrorist issues and a competitive team are another matter entirely.
