Ryan you said: "The real concerns are over attitude, and whether Qatar is ready to welcome people from all around the world for what is the biggest party on earth."
I believe, having many Qatari friends, Qataris are ready to welcome people here as long as they don't indulge in public disorder or indecencies such as kissing in public, or swearing loud or fighting, binge drinking, wearing such clothing or having some kind of fun that do not adhere to their culture here.
You see, just like some people in Europe frown upon Muslims men with thick beards or women in burkhas or could not bear the call for prayers to such an extent that heir governments had put bans on burkhas and calls for prayers, I suppose they too, the Qataris, they would frown upon such clothing or appearances or behaviours that do not fit their culture.
Other than that, I suspect there'd be no reason why they should not be ready to welcome fans in their countries. I find Qataris very nice people. They've had Asian games, International Tennis tournaments,Arab games, although on a smaller scale, they have had no problem welcoming fans here.
But if you talk about logistics, I am sure there will some problems just like some of the problems we have seen at the London Olympics 2012.(ex. security, immigration, traffic, etc.etc. blunders during the games)
