No booze, no boob flashing, scorching heat… Really FIFA, really?
Qatar
Those stadium proposals are pretty damn impressive. If that doesn't get you to win, i am sure stuffing some pockets with cash also helped.

Qatar will be amazing if it's anything like that. Actually, it will be like that. No booze, no boob flashing, scorching heat…
The will have air conditioned stadiums in the desert. If that is reason to not vote for them I don't know what is.
This is why Soccer or "Football" sucks.

I played it for years before finding out that hockey is so much better to play.
Could it be worse than the vuvuzela?

Wonder if they'll be carbon neutral :agree:
Oh wait…
From Wikipedia: Qatar has the highest per-capita carbon dioxide emissions, at 55.5 metric tons per person in 2005. This is almost double the next highest per-capita emitting country, which is Kuwait at 30.7 metric tons (2005) and they are t…hree times those of the United States. Qatar had the highest per-capita carbon dioxide emissions for the past 18 years. These emissions are largely due to high rates of energy use in Qatar. Major uses of energy in Qatar include air conditioning, natural gas processing, water desalination and electricity production. Between 1995 and 2011 the electricity generating capacity of Qatar will have increased to six times the previous level. The fact that Qataris do not have to pay for either their water or electricity supplies is thought to contribute to their high rate of energy use. Despite being a desert state they are also one of the highest consumers of water per capita per day, using around 400 litres.

this x10
just did some reading, apparently Qatar is building 9 new stadiums and completely renovating 3. The entire tournament will be held in a 60km radius making it the first of its kind in that sense. Also after the WC they are dismantling all of the stadiums and donating them to 3rd World Countries. I'm guessing that snagged some votes.

I imagine they are going to loosen up their liquor laws for the games.
