2. Why world cup is held in summer? Is it because Europe is cold in winter and Europeans prefer summer. Unfortunately world is not just Europe. Since this is a world cup why should it not be held in seasons that is suited where it is hosted?
3.Same as above. Football is popular across world.
4. May be this is to get foot bal more popular in middle East. Why only conduct where it is popular. Let's conduct where new fans can emerge.
5. corruption in FIFA is not new
6. So what. May be quatar is trying is be a sports destination of MENA. It's thir money. Let them spend it the way they want.
7. So has a large number of people died in making the phones, clothes or anything in Modern world. I come from Kerala in india where a large population is in Arab countries including quatar. People from here go to these palces because they pay well. May be not as much as western world like, but much more than we make here. So i don't give too much about the stories about slave labour and everything.
8. Are you coming to watch football or to promote pride culture?
Yes it's hot in quatar. So is the whole MENA. Don't they deserve to see football?
Let Europe do it in summer when it's suitable there. Let quatar do it in winter when it's suitable there..
This is the closest and most accesible football worldcup to 1 billion people in India. I am thankful to FIFA for conducting this in Quatar
- Because it's so hot in Qatar the WC was moved to the winter. This breaks the long standing tradition of doing the WC in the summer.
- In many countries where people actually care about the WC it's cold and rainy in winter. Traditions such watching the WC outside with family and friends obviously cannot exist this time around.
- There is zero football history or tradition in Qatar. Nobody there actually cares about football. Why do the WC there?
- It is very obvious that the only reason why we have a WC in Qatar is corruption. Corrupt people in the FIFA and in western goverments and willingness to bribe and do everything imaginable to get the WC from the Qatari government.
- Qatar now has 8 large and very modern football stadiums in the radius of 50km but the entire country only has less than 3 million people. For camparison London has three times the population but not as many comparable stadiums eventhough London can be considered the world capital of football. Those stadiums will most likely not be really used after the WC.
- It is a known fact that thousands of migrant workers had to die in order for those stadiums to be built.
- Fans are not allowed to wear pride flag colors. Players are not allowed to armbands with pride flag colors because the Qatari government doesn't like it.
