Qatar? More like QaTARD amirite? Seriously, who spells a word without a u directly following a q? Very disappointing, was looking forward to the good ole US of A hosting the World Cup again.

Now maybe this will force me to go to Brazil in 2014!

No way they can have all the games in Qatar right? Its the size of Connecticut. I would guess they will have some groupe stages in the UAE most likely in Dubai.

Still pissed though.

No way the U.S. would ever do something like this, and you know the technology driven FIFA people couldn't resist with blowing it over the top-

It's actually quite impressive, although no one wants to go to Qatar, seriously.

I would love to go to Qatar. US: Been there, done that.

Qatar: Like Dubai, but with more anti-semitism and America hate.

They are going to have air condidtioning for all their outdoor stadiums. I'm sure the greens will love that carbon footprint.

Air-conditioned outdoor stadiums? Nice.

He said FIFA vice-president Jack Warner asked for money - suggested to be £2.5m - to build an education centre in Trinidad with the cash to be channelled through him, and later £500,000 to buy Haiti's World Cup TV rights for the earthquake-hit nation, also to go through Warner.

Holy crap. It's really cheap to buy the World Cup. The Big XII should take the $90 million from the first year of the Fox TV deal and buy one. We've go 10 stadiums.

United States official Chuck Blazer, Warner's longtime ally and CONCACAF general secretary, reported the allegations to FIFA.
"In view of the facts alleged in this report, which include bribery allegations, FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke ... requested the FIFA ethics committee to open ethics proceedings,'' the soccer body said in a statement Wednesday.

FIFA said the bribery allegations related to bin Hammam's meeting with Caribbean soccer leaders on May 10-11 in Warner's native Trinidad to lobby for support.

"This meeting was linked to the upcoming FIFA presidential election,'' FIFA said.
