Didn't see that coming, Qatar in June...ouch it will be warm!
With the time difference, the games will no doubt be played at midnight local time to appeal to European television.
I wonder if Budweiser will be keen to throw their usual millions to become an official partner of the world cup?
It'd be pretty ironic considering its a dry state.
South Africa was pretty disappointing from a fan attendance perspective (empty seats m'lord) but Qatar could be an embarrassment. Compared to S Africa it is hotter, more expensive, less tourist sights and a I'd guess a lot less to do. Who will go?
Fan enjoyment is obviously low down on FIFA's priority list.
