Hey, FIFA reps need to get paid. Don't hate.

That was my initial reaction as well, but the more I've went through the details, the more the whole Qatar bid makes sense. I'm actually thinking that the smallness of the country might make for a better World Cup experience. Lesser travel times between venues and proportionally more world cup tourists than in any other World Cup before this.

Nonsense this.

Russia and Qatar, the two ought to host the World Bribery Cup.

(although Russia has got a genuine claim to host a WC)

They're not going to allow them dang vuvuzelas are they?

Only if it fits in the cultural backdrop of the venue, or some such. So I'm guessing we would get calls to prayer instead.
