Na, it's just funny anyway.

Do you have a link to the video? I am curious.

(Also, for the other bids, that'd be nice as well.)

I looked at all the 2018 ones and England's was clearly the best.

Russia's was just some stupid flying cameraman showing the new stadiums and then slapping the capacity on it.

Spain's was just Spanish/Portugese people saying the same line about 100 times, yet no one understood it until Torres said it half in English.

England's was actually the only video that put England's bid across professionally and showed why we're the best bid.

Haven't seen Qatar's video but whilst looking at new stadiums is nice it's not just about that. Anyone who isn't a moron knows how glamorous Qatar is, it's everything else that is questionable.

Oh, those presentation videos? I watched them, I thought they were just presentation videos and that they would add an actual video showing their stadiums and plans and everything afterwords.

If so, than I must say Australia threw the worse bid in history. It was just a fucking Kangaroo with the WC Trophy in the middle of the Australia Outback.

Their actual presentation to the FIFA team is even better.

Wow.

On the other hand I do believe they have camel races (they do in UAE).

Yeah. I never seen any of the bidding thing on Tv. I saw a small part in the news about dismantling the stadiums after the WC and rebuilding them again in developing countrys. I think that was probably a big part of them winning the bid

Camel races are funny

and qatar is like an hour away from UAE so it's going to be packed full of arabs.

Well it does border Saudi Arabia as well...

Australia's Kangaroo video was the most cringeworthy thing I have ever seen. Our presentation team failed us. Having said that, this decision could have been over a long time ago if they were only judged by a video and presentation...
Qatar had a decent presentation, but don't judge a book by it's cover. All if not most of their ideas are all fictional right now, let's just wait until they have everything completed first...

From my knowledge most saudis don't like travelling. I may be wrong.

Fair enough, I just saw Arabs, went for Saudi Arabia, ya know?

What do I know about the asia/middle east? Fuck all

You realize that Qataris themselves are Arabs, right?

I don't know about that. They're one of the most common type of tourist in places like Bahrain, Kuwait, Doha and UAE during certain times of year.

Julia Gillard's little cameo was the worst

is funny many of my aussie friend was saying kangaroo video was embarrassing and just distasteful but foreign people like those kind of thing. i actually liked it and so did many of my friends lol. why aussie embarassed by kangaroo? its nice to eat

Great OP.

recent reports say fifa considering lobby for qatar to move world cup to january to avoid the heat

bin hamman recommended this action to them like he doing for upcoming asian cup which is normally host in june but was change to next month(january) to avoid 130 farenheight/50 celcius heats

fifa is now 100% bend over for qatar

Would they call a break to the club season mid swing if they did that then?

who knows

Either way, it's going to be an interesting World Cup. What will be interesting to watch as well is the politics of this region over the course of the next decade. Knowing that the Persian Gulf is going to be the focal point of the entire world for a month, will these countries try to make strides to improve their reputations in terms of human rights, workers' rights and women's rights? Becaus if not, it'll be a total fucking embarrassment.
