 What’s the dissimilarity? Oh, that’s right - Australia isn’t palling around with terrorists.The European FIFA ultimate teams that visit Qatar go in the winter, when the temperatures are reasonable. Nobody goes there in the summer. I lived in Greece and one time it hit 48 degrees. Even walking around was exhausting. Alex, Los Angeles.All that is stopping the official announcement of a winter World Cup in Qatar is the fear of a lawsuit.It also depends how far we, as spectators, allow this nonsense to go. I'm already put off the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, with all the riots and corruption, and the 2018 World Cup by Russian behaviour in recent months regarding Ukraine and gay people. Why are these countries being handed these events? The only way we can stop this is to not watch. Matt, London.There will be a tipping point one day, Matt. Maybe this is it. I still think we’ll watch, though. Remember when Al-Qaeda was like the International Brigade of the Spanish Civil War supporting the mujahideen, also known as the Taliban, in their heroic struggle against the Soviet Union? When Reagan and Thatcher threw billions at them to kill Russians and Rambo scored a screamer with a dead goat? Personally I think funding terrorists should be a matter of principle not short-term strategic interests, but until it is I am sticking with Qatar being too hot for a World Cup as my objection. That and the lack of decent beer are the only issues over which we can’t be accused of hypocrisy. Bill, Barnsley.I think the mujahideen pre-date Al Qaeda and the Taliban, Bill, but either way we can’t be tied to one colossal mistake for fear of appearing hypocritical. You weren’t supporting the mujahideen and neither was I. We have no stance to maintain. We’re re allowed to object. Until next time.Qatar World Cup chiefs deny fresh corruption claims surrounding 2022 bid. FIFA should re-run the bid for the 2022 World Cup if an FBI investigation proves corrupt payments were made in connection with the http://www.fifa16coinbuy.com vote, according to the MP who is campaigning for reform of the world governing body.The Daily Telegraph has claimed the FBI is investigating payments from a company owned by Qatari Mohamed Bin Hammam to fellow former FIFA member Jack Warner, from the Caribbean.
