If this tournament takes place in Qatar, it will absolutely destroy the credibility of FIFA once and for all. It is ludicrous. The fact supposed intelligent leaders in the football community could issue Qatar the tourney to begin with, bribes or not, is alarming. Money makes people very stupid quickly. Pretty effin sad!
I thought you were retired?
On the cooling, or ability to cool the training grounds…
It can be done. Anybody who knows anything about cooling space knows this can be done, and it would be a dream account. All it takes is a lot of space for the equipment, a lot of money, and a lot of energy. The technology exists, plus Qatar has these three things in spades.
I don’t see the WC being pulled, because that would be an admission of guilt in the highest order, and open FIFA up wide open to litigation against a nation that paves it’s sidewalks in gold. Figuratively speaking, but would not be surprised if literally, too.
