Have to share this with you guys. I was in a meeting this afternoon with some Qatar olympic Officials on unrelated business our firm is consulting on. Well these guys are so excited about their chances, they actually believe they stand a fantastic chance of securing the hosting rights. They kept going on about how great the Asian Games were and also the most successful (how they figure that I don't know as it is well documented it was the least well attended). But these bafoons actually think they stand a chance. My colleague who is a brit and a huge footie fan as well had to hold our breath to stop laughing listening to these clowns. They think putting in a bid will put Qatar on the map, and to quote "just like the olympic bid did"....Sorry to tell you bafoons but you were the laughing stock of the Olympic bid, now you are the JOKE of the World Cup bid.....Your national team is crap, you don't have a football culture and money won't buy you a World Cup.
