    Qatar ... come on, tell me you are not serious.

    -1.6m population (less than 1 million a year ago)
    -46c AVERAGE temperature in June!
    -ranked outside the top 100
    -all stadiums within a 20km radius
    -limited beer
    -no Brazilian girls in bikinis

    How can this happen in 2010? Complete joke.

        They don't even have a team on FIFA 11 apparently...

          FIFA 11 only has 40 countries on it, I guess the ones where the game is aimed to be sold.
          FIFA South Africa 2010 does include Qatar though(it includes every country on the globe).

            Not true -- I didn't see the Vatican City, or Bhutan, or East Timor on it.

              Well, nearly every country.

                Few rumours flying around Qatar could be about to lose the cup.

                Sanity may finally prevail.

                    A report was released today. I'm not 100% across what it's about but I think it's something to do with the working conditions on the stadia construction sites.
                    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                      They basically use slave labour there which I imagine is one of the few no-no's for FIFA (but only just)

                        Telling FIFA would be the biggest no no.
