Now there's a surprise.

Disapprove


Handing the World Cup to Qatar was a “mistake” and a “bad choice” according to the former Fifa president Sepp Blatter, who has repeated claims the decision was a result of secret political pressure.

Blatter says that the tournament was handed to the Gulf state because of the actions of the former Uefa president Michel Platini, under pressure from France’s then president, Nicolas Sarkozy.

Qatar World Cup ambassador criticised for ‘harmful’ homosexuality comments
“For me it is clear: Qatar is a mistake. The choice was bad,” Blatter told the Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger. “At the time, we actually agreed in the executive committee that Russia should get the 2018 World Cup and the USA that of 2022. It would have been a gesture of peace if the two longstanding political opponents had hosted the World Cup one after the other.”

Is this the only thing they're likely to be prosecuted for? A $2m consultancy bill being investigated by a swiss court? There's more charges outstanding against them isn't there?

Sure he'll be dead and buried before anything happens
I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.
