Now Uefa/Platini are suggesting the 2022 World Cup should be played across the whole of the Gulf as opposed to just Qatar, which won the "bidding" process? Already facing questions over the extreme weather, the tiny peninsula covers just 11 437 square kilometres (~4 575 square miles) and now e are wondering how they will cope with an influx of football fans arriving to cheer their teams on. When asked why such drastic changes could be considered when they were never mentioned during the bidding campaign, Platini said:
"Who will remember the words in 12 years? In 12 years everybody will be happy to have a very well-organised World Cup and not remember what's happened before. When I organised the World Cup in France we did [things] differently from what we proposed in the bid."
What an idiotic thing to say and surely yet another reason for wholesale changes in the Uefa heirachy. It's being "run" by incompetents.
