Qatar in 2022? That's ridiculous!

[soccerexpert]

Qatar was nominated as host nation for 2022.
I really find this absurd.

Your not the only one!

I think it will be a good world cup in 2022, they have the money to do anything really.

But it shouldn't be about money, Qatar has no world cup history, where a country like say Netherlands for example with a great world cup record has never got to host it.. Its ridiculous how Qatar can throw all this money at football.

But Holland wasn't even in the poll, they was in for 2018, USA, Australia, South Korea and Japan, ?

USA have already had a World Cup, long time ago but would go against them, Australia was the only country that would have have had a close bid to them, so i don't think its much of a shock tbh and i'm looking forward to it,

I know,was using Holland just as an example. My point was, how can a country like Qatar get to host a world cup, when a country like Holland with a good world cup history has never hosted it before, its just wrong imo. It shouldn't be about money. 2022 should of gone to Australia.

The 2022 World Cup should have gone to either Australia or the USA. Both would have been a great World Cup. It's a disgrace that Qatar got it.

Qatar got it because of money simple as. it should have gone to the United States and everyone knows it. Korea had it too recently so if not us give it to the Aussies but not f*cking Qatar.

im sure the prospect of a free stadium or two also swayed some votes their way...

It seems like FIFA has been bribed so much.
