Is Qatar fit to hold the world cup?

[mikey4444]

TTT....Qatar should never have been awarded the World Cup in the first place.

Given the wholesale fraud and corruption of football at this level, its no wonder that a country that doesn't have any natural grass, should be hosting such a prestigious event.

On your particular point...of course these workers are being treated appallingly.....if they had been looked after properly and paid the correct rate
of pay, the event couldn't possibly have gone ahead on budget.

This is deep corruption, from the very top to the very bottom....none of us should be remotely surprised.

From Wiki: //Qatar is classified by the UN as a country of very high human development and is the most advanced Arab state for human development.//

Not saying much for the rest of the Arab states, is it? I know very little about football but it doesn't seem fit to me.
