It is a scam that the World Cup can be bought.. by sand people.. who have no business.. no history.. no reason to be hosting the biggest spectacle in the world of sports.. It should have been back in USA for one thing.. or back to Asia .. yes boycott this World Cup.. no one is going to go.. not even the players.. what is that country doing to do with all the stadiums it will build. Why aren't these buildings solar air conditioned..

sand people?

Keeping the WC in Qatar during the summer shouldn't be an option and neither should sliding it to the winter. A country that's too hot to hold the WC during it's summer was simply the wrong choice. Blatter needs to cowboy up, admit FIFA's colossal mistake, return the bribes, and move the '22 WC to one of the alternate that were considered.

Blatter wanted the WC to be in the USA, not Qatar. His recent comments about people like Platini voting under pressure from political leaders was seen be some as paving the way for taking the WC away from them. Platini is a strange guy. Played the game at such a high level and goes on about financial fair play all the time, then is instrumental in giving the WC to Qatar.

Playing in Qatar when it’s 45-50 degrees Celsius is not serious, even if they install air conditioning in the stadia.

It’s not serious and not only for the 22 players

I'm not getting these quotes. It sounds pretty serious to me
