FIFA may have made a “mistake” in awarding the 2022 World Cup to Qatar,
according to president Sepp Blatter.
Summer temperatures can reach 50C in the Middle Eastern country.
Asked by insideworldfootball.com awarding
Qatar the tournament, the 77-year-old said: “It may well be that we made a
mistake at the time.”
No, no, no, no, no it’s
not the case that FIFA ‘may’ have made a mistake in awarding the 2022 World Cup
to Qatar, it’s more a case of they definitely made a colossal error and only
now are they beginning to realise the size of the cock up they’ve made.
Qatar hosting the World
Cup, whether it is in June or January simply isn’t going to work, it’s the
equivalent of the IOC choosing Britain to host the Winter Olympics.
FIFA’s executive
committee will meet next month to vote on whether to switch the tournament to
the winter, which Blatter wants, so that’s that done the 2022 World Cup will be
in played in January/February, effectively ruining all the European leagues for
that season.
It’s obvious that Qatar
should never have been chosen to host the World Cup, but now they have it’s
even more obvious what should be done, take it off them and award to a country
that doesn’t have to build everything from scratch and that can host it in the
summer like it has been for the 80 years.
