Qatar beats USA too. Football is moving to the east, following the shifting economic reality.

It's more fun when you can sit back, relax and enjoy watching the fallout.

Brilliant. Not only do we not get the world cup, but we're now going to have to spend the next six months, and the entirety of 2018 listening to people bleating that we should have got it and that life is unfair.

So we've had:

China
South Africa
Rio
Russia

Why don't they want to host sporting events in proper countries?

Qatar will be full of al Qaeda by 2022 anyway.

Now now, no need for sour grapes. The Russian bid by all accounts was very good and the reality is that the global establishment, of which FIFA is a part, is looking east as we in the west decline.

Oh well, England will do rubbish no matter where it is.
