You sure? I thought host is automatically qualified?
Japan qualify to the world cup for the first time for France 98 by the play-off before they host 2002.

one another problem is tht qatar population is only 1.5m so i doubt the stadium will be full.
only 1m came to SA so total=2.5 and not all of qatar people will go, and there will be 112 matches to play and each myt have 60,000
60,000 X 112 =6,720,000 where will qatar get t 6.7m people to watch the game unless the stadium will be small
they will depend on nearby arab nations for fans..

NO WAY will a World Cup be held in january. What, all major league paused for World Cup? or resume, and let 10 of their 1st team players go for World Cup? 1 for African Nations Cup, and a few for this coming Asian Cup already leave premier league managers fuming, a january World Cup will cause a World War 3!
Like i said the main problem is heat, but doesnt mean its a joke. Dont tell me just because its not ideal, World Cup would never ever be played in Arab soil? For all you know they might build a giant glass dome within the 30km stadium radius, which is fully airconed

anything can happen in the next 12 years, so we just wait patiently. Cant use the scenario now to predict 12 years from now.
not impossible... of course everything has to stop during world cup month.. its just a matter scheduling.. leagues just have to start earlier and stop later..
