They havent bought anything - its bid collusion which is against FIFA rules - have a look at the article again. Either way there is a huge cloud over both the Spain Portugal bid in 18 and unfortunately the Qatar bid in '22 - even if the allegations are unfounded, doubt will still remain. In the eys of the watching world, FIFA MUST be seen to be squeaky clean and if necessay they will have no compunction about disqualifiying the Qatar and S/P bids just to make a point!!
