Quote from vice-president Jim Boyce of FIFA (from BBC Website):
"[he].......also acknowledged that, before it voted in 2010 to award the event to Qatar,
Fifa did not fully consider the implications of playing there during the summer, when temperatures can
reach 50C...."
I mean ffs ...each of the countries that wanted to host the game had to prepare a dossier that
made the Encyclopedia Brittanica look like a 2-page leaflet and those ****** at FIFA couldn't
even be arsed to thing about basic, basic, basic logistics like the weather there. That would be
the first thing I'd think about - but maybe that's far too much common-sense.
Or am I being naive to think it was anything other to do with money.
