Re: Qatar World Cup
He's been saying that for a while, so it's not really anything new. He's looking at the possibility blah blah blah. It won't happen.
Qatar bid for a 32 team cup. Everything is on their side. As much as the neighbours would love to see Qatar having to share it, there's no way Qatar will accept it, especially after all that's happened.
IMO Qatar will just plough on regardless, good or bad WC. It's their baby.

Re: Qatar World Cup
We need to remember that Qatar won the right to host the World Cup with a 32-team World Cup, so at the end of the day, FIFA will take the decision with Qatar, and only if Qatar agrees,” said al-Khater who then gave the strongest hint yet that the tournament will most likely stay at 32 teams.

Re: Qatar World Cup
Stop a second, ask if FIFA or Qatar have more weight in the argument of them sharing it or not.
I honestly think if FIFA want them to share with UAE / Bahrain etc then they can probably make them.

Re: Qatar World Cup
And let's not forget that there's a whole world of politicians out there who would use the sharing as a way to potentially end the GCC crisis?
These things never get fixed in isolation.

I'm sure it'll all be cleared up soon.
The song titled “Pour, oh Rain, in Doha” is accompanied by an illustration showing children at play and wishes for the drowning of Qatar, at times, and considers it a Saudi province, at others.
