Just saw a very interesting report on the BBC stating that FIFA are actively considering shifting the 2022 world cup to December, and thus in one stroke eliminating the issue of the heat in the Gulf during the summer. Michel Platini and Sepp Blatter have now said they support this idea.
On top of that Sepp Blatter has revealed that other countries in the middle east are very interested in hosting matches during 2022. Blatter himself has apparently already held talks with representatives with some countries and ore are interested. He says that should Qaar agree a Pan Middle East world cup could happen.
All in all the winter of 2022 may well be a very good world cup indeed by the sounds of it now if these proposals happen!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
