Bluedell 5,353 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 That's a shame. It would have been great to have the world cup on our doorstep. It may be another generation before they get the chance to do it again. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa 0 Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 (edited) Qatar for 2022? Why have a world cup in a country that only has 2 females for every 7 males? Quite an interesting one because they host the AFC Asian Cup in January. Interesting results politically too, since Russia and Qatar are both rich in oil & gas and are both close allies of Iran. :boogie: Edited December 2, 2010 by Zappa 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 People will be jumping on the Panorama program as an excuse, but there's also the ongoing issue of hooligans in England, with the chaos in Birmingham being the latest episode.. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it's no worse than the hooligan problem in Russia? I think that the Times article was the initial catalyst for the England bid going downhill, but I'm sure Panorama didn't help. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 People are bringing out the racism card with Russia though which is quite true. Heard Spartak fans making monkey noises to Drogba in a CL match at Stamford Bridge. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
