Drewks,

Whilst Qatar 'may' have paid large sums of money, I cannot agree with you that it is their fault.  As I say, they bid for a summer world cup and have been preparing for a summer world cup.  Many of my friends work for the Qatar World Cup committee and have informed me this is the case.  

It is not Qatar's fault if FIFA make the (sensible) decision to move this to a winter world cup.  It benefits everyone involved apart from the European leagues.

It is FIFA's fault that Qatar won the bid.  FIFA have changed the criteria of the bid and all bidding nations should file lawsuits against FIFA.  I believe Australia may be in the process of doing this?

Yep, can see the points you're making Danny, and I agree with them. The one I'm trying to make is that, assuming that the bid was corrupt and bribes DID occur, then Qatar are to blame for this as much as FIFA.
