the UK are not sourgrapes on Qatar winning the bid for 2022, since Europe was not even eligible to bid for 2022! So it doesn't make any difference to their own bid. They question Qatar winning, due to the strength of their proposal! In a team of US, Japan, S Korea, & Australia. Qatar arguably had the weakest proposal, in terms on Infrastructure, # of stadiums, stadium capacity, climate, transportation etc. So when Qatar gets the same number of votes in the 1st round as all those countries put together...this tells you something maybe is not right. The UK lost their 2018 bid even though they had the strongest proposal in their group, the UK is ready to host the WC today! we dont have to do hardly anything to our stadium or infrastructure its all there, wembley 90k capacity, old trafford 75k, olympic stad 80k, emirates 60k etc. Yet the UK had the least votes? so maybe there might be truth in the corruption claims or maybe not. But Qatar has won it, and I wish them the best...but in my humble opinion...it should be switched during winter period rather than summer
