1. Wait....what the hell just happened?
  2. Well I wasn't expecting that.

    2022 Fifa World Cup to... Qatar? I must admit, I thought United States or Japan would get it.


  3. I think you've just been beaten to hosting the World Cup by a country a million times smaller than yours.
  4. fuck...so pissed.
  5. Security in 2022 is going to a nightmare. Wonder if anyone will attend....


  6. surely i won't.. man they are picking all these places i'll never be able to/ want to go to...
  7. The 11 hour time difference will be fun!
  8. These 2 countries were willing to pay the most is my guess.....


  9. Probably. England weren't going to win because Sepp Blatter just does not like the nation. I would've thought they'd choose a much richer nation in terms of football heritage than Russia though. Only way England will get it now is either wait until 2030's or hope Brazil mess up between now and 2014. Then it'd probably go to nation ranked way down the rankings, Papua New Guinea 2014? Or are they shortlisted for 2026?

    I'm not bothered that England didn't get it in all fairness, more bothered by who have got 2018 and 2022.
  10. Predictions for this weekend's matches can be posted in the predictions thread
