Reasons why Qatar will host 2022 World Cup
Great article, however FIFA might have a tendency to try the less fancied, or riskier idea. This time being Australia. Just like with South Africa, it is risky, and would be used to tap into the local market.
Still USA have the upper hand in almost every aspect
Australia faces a colossus in its bid for 2022 World Cup
He’s a great guy to talk to. I just received an email from him stating that he scored an 88th minute goal against some team in front of 10000 fans. Good on him.

I agree with the Story not the comments. All you people are saying blahblah soccer is not good blah blah, its been talked up. Those people need to shut it and realise that we are at league 4 years old or so, coming close to one 70 years old. It will catch up. People need to realise that. The new melbourne and Sydeyn rivalries with soup up the a-league to the max
Melbourne's new rivalry will revive the A-League
Your right on that. Bleiberg seems to have to big an Agenda of his own, which does tell us that he is more interested in how he can benefit from the club and not how the club can benefit. That is why the club isn’t doing as well as it should
Palmer attacked for capping Skilled Park crowd sizes
Seriously, Clive and Bleiberg’s dreams have brought down the new Glamour Club. It would have been such a great colub with support etc, if they two hadn’t just taken all ownership the way they wanted it.

Bin Hammamm had previously pledged his loyalty to the Australian World Cup bid at the beginning of last year. The idea of not being a major football nation is not of a concern to FIFA, because they are trying to increase football’s popularity and reach around the globe. Hence the South Africa world cup. As a result, FIFA have a ten point plan on getting hosting rights to the lesser countries.
Companies in Qatar have contributed on many an occasion to the funding of the FIFA World Cup, esp Japan Korea 2002, and South Africa, building the Solar Panels that powered several fan sites and stadiums, the same technology they will bring to the table if they are to host the competition.
Qatar’s bid team have pledged the upper tiers of the stadia’s to other developing countries to help build their infrastructure in football, and have been highly commended by FIFA, and are current at evens with Australia on an independant table of the hosts.
Despite all points, a paragraph was ommitted from this upon submission, which entailed my support for the 2022 competition, and the original title was Dark Horse: Qatar 2022.
Please get your facts correct before trying to contradict these presented.
