chill out,

the last time i heard abt south africa many doubters said they cant do it w poor ticket sales etc etc

the last time i heard abt India (Commonwealth games) everyone was freaking worried because the hostels for athletes were not even ready 1 week before the game, bridge collapsed etc etc..
than baaammm everyone praising india.

oversea players shud give their comments esp playing condition in the nation

so far am happy for qatar ( looks asian cup, very up to standard. pitch A+! )

Pitch is 1 thing. ticketing wise, its a joke. Merchandising? none. Qatar may be a good place, but if they are gonna bring Asian Cup standard along, they need to improve on some aspect. of course i am quite confident 2022 will be more modern and equipped than 2011. But knowing the situation in Asian Cup coz personally im there for the tourney, its great but not world cup standard yet. Stadiums, hospitality etc, top notch. its the smaller details that is missing in the Asian Cup.

bribery is always being there in football. just never this scandalous, simply because one of the "important" nation is on the receiving end of this bribe. If England wasnt part of the country lobbying for WC, i dont think this issue will come out yet.

But its good, at least transparency is achieved a bit. That way theres investigation, and maybe new blood will be put in and a chance for a cleaner commitee.
