This may turn out to be the only completely air conditioned Mondial. It’s just too hot there otherwise – especially in 2022!

The people of Middle east are crazy about Soccer. I am very happy for Qatar and the rest of the region. We need good news coming from that part of the world. I hope this inspires the youth of indulge in sports rather than violence.

Also very disappointed with some of the comments here. The people living in Qatar may have a different lifestyle than us, but they deserve this as much as any other nation. Also an event like this will help the liberal forces in the middle east and will be a defeat for extremist.

Some die hard football fans say there’s some corruption behind this… it’s good a Middle Eastern country won, but it’s not going to be very comfortable and as one friend of mine said, Qatar doesn’t exactly have the most stellar sporting pedigree!

Personally, I’m not a big fan of pomp and circumstance. And it’s hard for me to condone money like this being spent when people are dying… but hey – I’m not a football player!

Its very good that Qatar has won. They can build the infrastructure and demonstrate that its not only nation size but money and determination that helps
