Qatar have nothing, its just some sand in a very big desert with big oil pumps.
And consequently, money. Lots of money that can be fitted in to envelopes and posted to Switzerland.

It's time like this that the forum really needs a like button.And consequently, money. Lots of money that can be fitted in to envelopes and posted to Switzerland.
They don't fly to Australia either, so you'd have been no better off in that department if Qatar hadn't got it.Last time I checked Ryanair don't fly from East Midlands to Qatar, so I'll be giving this one a miss.
If they do move it i personally hope a)nobody goes there, the stadiums are empty and it is a massive flop as a sporting spectacle b)No of the top clubs allow their best players to go, make up some randoms illness like cat flu.
The world cup is going to two countries which don't either deserve or can facilitate a world cup. Russia has crap infrastructure, homophobic and racist. Qatar have nothing, its just some sand in a very big desert with big oil pumps.
I like the idea of introducing 40 teams and expanding into places other than Europe.
Platini has suggested 40 teams though in response to Blatter's even more bonkers idea of reducing the number of European teams to make room for more from Asia and Africa.
We've already got a situation where highly ranked European countries don't qualify but no-hopers from the middle east or pacific get in just to be guaranteed group propper-uppers. Blatter would have even more teams like that taking places of teams who can actually give someone a game. Silly old twat.
It is time a rival to FIFA was formed which is club based.
