The preposterous and farcical decision on awarding the 2022 World Cup to Qatar ignoring comprehensively FIFA technical committee report that clearly details why Qatar is totally unsuitable exposes FIFA?s insipid seedy behaviour.
Qatar a nation with a population of some 1.8m, spread over some 12,000km squared, covering a living space the size of York, Doha the only major populated city, with an airport the size of a putting green coupled with a human rights record that criminalises sexual preference, with zero tolerance to alcohol.

To chose Qatar over USA, Japan, South K and Australia is a affront to logical common sense, the serious flaws clearly reported by FIFA?s independent technical team, that were asked to formally audit, and present a detailed inspected report for all the bidding countries, highlighted the searing 40/50c heat through June/July the hottest months of the year, the close proximity of the Stadia,10 out of 12 stadiums are within a 25-kilometre area, causing a huge logistical nightmare, the construction of the stadia alone is conservatively estimated at over $6 billion, 2/3rds the entire operating budget for the 2012 London Olympics, the promised air conditioning technology that at present does not even exist, making the additional cost factor is at best a wild guess!!

So when taking into consideration the independently identified deficiencies, what is left is a huge question mark ......why Qatar?

Was it a political decision?
Well the AFC (Asian Football Confederation) President Bin Hammam played a decisive role, the executive committee applying huge pressure to acquire 11 votes in the first round!......Korea had just 4 and Australia a miserly 1 vote, without the transparency of the IOC voting system, the doggy horse trading has smeared the process.

For the interests of balance one has to admire Qatar?s presentation, highlighting as effectively as Russia, and Australia the benefits of hosting a competition in new challenging territories.....Interestingly Sepp Blatter used this justification alone to bring ?on message? and effectively ?skewing and influencing? the decision making process to focus on more opening closer relationships between Islam and western cultures.

However going completely against their technical committees report and discounting outright USA, Japan, South K and Australia bids proves that political deals count significantly in FIFA?s decision making process.
This evidence alone has done considerable damage to FIFA?s reputation.

There can be no other reason why Qatar won the bid aside from these geo-political shenanigans, all making future bids irrelevant, irrespective of their suitability or strength, if you don?t process political backing you have little chance of success.

England?s 2018 strong technical bid report, highlighting a strong football heritage, independently accessed as the strongest presentation, was rewarded with just two votes and a first round exit.

A humiliation for our Prime Minster, and future King and Queen (Posh and Becks)...... Prince William wasn?t happy either .....


Over to you ..Mr K.......
