FIFA president Sepp Blatter is determined
to switch the 2022 World Cup to the winter because of the intense Qatar summer
heat.
The head of world football's
governing body plans discussions over the change, which would cause major
disruption to various domestic leagues, with his executive committee in October.
He said: “We still have enough time”.
I tell you what there is also time
for, there’s time to realise that awarding the World Cup to Qatar was a stupid
idea, and there’s time to look around for a proper host that can stage the
tournament without any problems.
Qatar has no footballing traditions,
the 50c heat in the summer will mean that the games would be of a very poor quality,
and now FIFA, well Blatter, has come up with the gem of an idea to host it in
the winter and disrupt all the domestic leagues, the word clueless come to
mind.
Taking into account all the various
criteria a host needs to fulfill to stage a World Cup I’m still amazed that Qatar even made the
shortlist let alone won the bid, makes me think that something untoward went
on, no no that’s preposterous of me to suggest FIFA would fix it so that certain
bids won, preposterous I tell you.
