World Cup Qatar stripped of the 2022 World Cup

[pantskyle]

So has this been confirmed?

No.

Also if it does get stripped England should host it.

In 2022? I thought Europe got the 2018 and the 2022 was meant to go to somewhere in a developing market i.e. Asia or North America.

That's the plan but if you are stripping a country then you go to best available to host IMO. It's also outrageous that England has only hosted once.

Agree. Should have been England/UK in 2018 and US in 2022 to start with.

Can't argue with that.

It hasn't officially been stripped, a FIFA executive has suggested that it will be in the future. Hopefully common sense prevails and it's taken away from that shithole of a country. Don't think Russia should be hosting it either.

Probably another way of asking Qatar to pay more bribes

 

[typeclub]

lol i dont know what to make of this

Fifa have realized that they won't get away with this and are busy building up publicity against Qatar.

The Qataris are going to want their bribes back.

England had the best technical bid in 2018 ,but had practically zero support among the corrupt vote casters.
Its pretty clear that we could never win a bid regardless of the facilities and fan support. You had Platini and the Turk delegate tactically voting purely to knock England out in the first round of votes. Thats what we would be up against !!

We ever put forward a solid bid for the previous Euro under 21 tournament ,but lost out to Israel FFS .

Because FIFA hates England, it really is as simple and petty as that. Was absolutely amazed how they got passed over but wasn't surprised at the same time

2026 maybe but not 2022, the US came second in the bidding and, unless they have a re-bid, they will give it to the runner-up.

Sweet! USA 2022 here I come!

No shock this:

 

[HawkAussie]

Just broken in the last half an hour on Twitter, sorry can't post links, using my mobile, but massive news if true, massive repercussions

This will shake things up

 

[wally funk]

Has there actually been any more news on this rumour? Or was it always just one FIFA director with a personal opinion and nothing else?

With the amount of money our government put into the last bid (despite a lot if criticism) and the fact we were no where near hosting it, suggests to me that it will be a long time before we bid again

 

[Power Raid]

so no change?

This thread probably needs a question mark at the end of the title.
