Default Qatar may lose the World Cup

Sepp Blatter isn't ruling out a re-vote.

One of comments was utterly hilarious.

"Doha is one of the most developed cities in the world, with the infrastructure better than that of any capital city in Europe. Perhaps the election was rigged, but get some exposure before you make comments on a place you've never seen."

Having read the article twice, I cannot find that particular quote anywhere. Has it been deleted?

It's not in the actual article, it's in the comments section underneath, written by a certain "gondorplace".

I am often surprised by the vast number of supposed western expatriates who are up in arms everytime someone reports something negative about Doha or Dubai in the western press. You almost sense that they dont believe the c*** they type, but somehow right now everyone is moaning about Qatar and forgetting that "we all take bribes". Thats the vibe you get on some other sites in response to these bribery allegations
