That's a surprise .....not.
Surely no corruption in respect of the Qatar WC decision??

Hope Qatar get dicked 15-0 in every group game

I'm not sure why there was ever any fuss about awarding the WC to Qatar, that country with the great football tradition and following? Not to mention all the stadia they already have, the totally suitable climate and the fan friendly culture.

Won't happen as they are the current Asian Cup holders (earlier this year) and drew with Paraguay in the Copa America. They have a core of young players to build around as well.

Corruption? No! Never! Even better that it`s the French State financial prosecutor that is looking into it as FIFA et al are as corrupt as it comes. Shame they never got chance to take a look at Russia as well.... easier target one guesses!!

How many of those are actually Qatari though? They have been buying sports people up in various disciplines for a few years now, makes a mockery of international sport.
