It's high time that the world wakes up and sees Qatar as the primary threat against life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. First they tried to buy FIFA (and, well that worked perfectly), then they tried to buy Egypt and that failed, now they are trying to buy Syria. After our new friend Mr. Putin remedies that latter situation, it is really time to go back and fix the first, for once and for all. Bring the 2022 tourney back to the US!

Oh, yeah, and send Seal Team 6 after Seth Blatter...

Sepp Blatter admits Qatar World Cup error and backs winter switch | Football | The Guardian

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013...tter-qatar Wrote:Fifa's president, Sepp Blatter, has admitted that it "may well be that we made a mistake" in awarding the 2022 World Cup to Qatar but underlined his commitment to move the tournament to the winter to avoid the searing summer heat.

"If we maintain, rigidly, the status quo, then a Fifa World Cup can never be played in countries that are south of the equator or indeed near the equator," he said. "We automatically discriminate against countries that have different seasons than we do in Europe. I think it is high time that Europe starts to understand that we do not rule the world any more, and that some former European imperial powers can no longer impress their will on to others in far away places."

The idea of the calendar remaining in permanent flux depending on where the World Cup is held is one that will alarm the leading European clubs, who are likely to accept the Qatar switch only on the basis it is a "one-off".
