How can anyone complain when its been given to 2 countries who have never held the world cup before? And I would have thought that 7 years is plenty time to upgrade certain things in Russia if needed.

If it was all about money then England and the USA would have won the two bids.

Fair play to Niall Quinn, he has told it how it is, on SSN.

Speaking about how our own press haven't exactly helped, as they have been very pessimistic with the coverage they have gioven our own bid, which is ridiculous.

He also stated that he cant get his head around FIFA's decisions sometimes.

All correct in my opinion.

I hope Scotland qualify for Qatar 2022.

The sight of 11 gingers chasing Brazilian shadows in 50 degree heat for 90 minutes would be the funniest thing I've ever seen.

I thought Quinn spoke really well in that interview he called it spot on, for me. I think the media have been optimistic with our bid, very positive barring the obvious but either way I can't see that being an issue really. FIFA voters from around the world, based in Zurich would they be looking at our media's back pages? I can't believe the Russia bid was better than ours, having seen the presentations and speeches they never got near ours.

On 2022 - Qatar? what about the heat, 40-50 degree heats will be unbearable. They've said they'll put air conditioned stadiums in place but how can you possibly play football in those heats in the peak of summer. All medical and scientific advice is against their conditions alone.

What a surprise that the 2 bids that won are the 2 that the FIFA men can get the most backhanded payments from.There's no point in bidding for any future world cup because not only do the rest of the football world hate us,FIFA know they'll get no extra payments from us.It's now time for the might of the whole British media to get together and investigate and prove how corrupt FIFA is.

Brilliant post mate, spot on. Apparently FIFA have said they'll release the details of how the voting went but I'd be very surprised if they did. I'd love to know how they all voted, if the rumours are true I'd like to see someone try and justify how our bid went first and Holland/Belguim survived the first round of bidding.
