After lying that they would hold it in the summer by having air conditioned stadiums during their bid.

None of the major professional leagues are happy about this. If the world cup remains in Qatar it's going to be a fiasco.

I heard that did that but thought that FIFA decided to change it back. I know Australia was planning on suing FIFA if it was changed to winter because they spent a lot of money on a summer bid.
