Hmm

[davebro]

A very profitable "mistake" for some!

[Spicerack]

Must be right if a straight arrow like Blatter says so.

[Bobbisox1]

I wonder how many palms were greased by wealthy Arabs

[ichkeria]

Poor guy should never have allowed himself to associate with all those nasty men …

[ToraToraTora]

It just showed up FIFA for the money grubbing con men they were. Blatter was chief among them. Radio Rental to give it to Qatar.

[weecalf]

Aye sure Sepp tell us about it ,that like saying fox hunting is not very nice cause you could leave a gate open .

[jackthehat]

Blatter and Warner both utterly corrupt individuals who should never have been able to have any influence in Qatar being awarded the 2022 World Cup..........and it is far, far too late for the tragi-comic 'mea culpa' both have been dragging around the media in recent weeks.

[davebro]

hope they both die a violent & painful death - and soon.

[douglas9401]

I wonder if he's as ill as he looks.

Fingers crossed.

yeah wasnt he the one that accepted moolah for giving it to Guitar?

[Bazile]

Palms have already been greased - brown envelopes exchanged .

//It was a bad choice and I was responsible for that as president at the time," he said.//

Too late for crocodile tears .

You should have done something about it way back then

[Spicerack]

I heard this morning (GB News) that being homosexual was illegal here when England staged the World Cup. Just saying. ;-)

[ichkeria]

Homosexuality was illegal in a lot of places in 1966.

This is 2022

[jourdain2]

I think most people thought it was a horrible mistake to award it to Qatar at the time. I know we and everyone we know did - and we're not remotely interested in footie! The people who though it was a good idea probably got very rich from thinking that.
Money talks.

[weecalf]

Sound like history in the making 32 teams in the Qatar finals of the World Cup .

[royfromaus]

Didn't see HIGNFY but will have to watch it on the i-player.

Hypocrite gets just desserts.
