Won’t stop the shambles going ahead in 2022 though will it.

No it won't, and the next money bought one will be China in 2030.

England and ireland are interested in hosting it but its suggested they will receive stiff competition from China,  who should not be awarded under current rules as qatar are hosting it in 2022.

Fifa are open to changing the rules to allow China to host it.

Surprised not.

It’s always been utter madness that Qatar were awarded the tournament, when they lacked any footballing heritage, aren’t a developing football nation, don’t have the stadiums and it is dangerous to play there in the summer due to the heat. (What happened to the air conditioned stadiums that were promised?)

The fact that it has been moved to winter meaning three seasons of domestic football will be disrupted as a result is poor.

However, they can’t strip it as Qatar would sue FIFA and take them to the cleaners.
