If Fifa was smart, they'd host it in the US. Would make a lot of money here.

The US will get the 2026 WC. Keeps Fox sweet and the coffers full.

Something tells me this has little to do with the weather and everything to do with Qatar not being ready by 2021

If they are going to give it to another Asian country give to one with the infrastructure that could host it tomorrow if they want it, Korea or Japan. Hell for some reason FIFA counts Australia in the AFC (Asian Football Confederation) they could host it tomorrow if they wanted along with the world cup.

Well if its in the summer of 2021, then it rules out the middle east countries, leaving east asian ie japan korea or china or possibly australia.

And countries like Japan and China make a lot more sense anyway. Think of the potential soccer has in China.

No, its probably the weather.

They're not going to play in the summer in Qatar.

I still don't think they'll be ready, though
