To be honest the only REAL chance the bid has of success is by underhand and fraudulent means - as Pilgrim says above, in comparative terms the bid is at best a long shot and getting into bed with the S/P bid and using the 18/22 bid format to trade blocks of votes really represented the only hope both bids had of success - Spain because of the strength of the UK and Russian bids and Qatar because of the "logistical problems" highlighted at the end of the FIFA visit.
As we say in the UK,the Qatar bid is now a "farting duck".....
