A summer World Cup in Qatar in 2022
would be "impossible", says Football Association chairman Greg Dyke.
Dyke, who took up his FA role last
month, thinks the tournament is likely to move to winter because of the heat.
But Qatar's World Cup organising
committee says it is ready to host the tournament in summer.
What a mess this is, I agree with
Dyke in that it would be stupid to have the World Cup in Qatar in the summer; however,
I would go one step further and say that it would be stupid for Qatar to host
the world cup full-stop.
Ever since it was awarded to them
it has been problem after problem after problem, and there’s still a full nine
years left to go before the opening match kicks off, so god knows what other
issues are going to present themselves between now and then.
But in the midst of all the problems
a solution can be found, as there is still nine years until it starts there’s
plenty of time for FIFA to realise what a dreadful mess it will be and do the sensible
thing and look for a country that can host the World Cup without all these difficulties.
