So here are some interesting 2022 coincidences: -The Qatari Foundation is going to be Barca's new shirt sponsor, for the price of $200m. Remember, Spain and Qatar were accused of colluding together with Russia to rig the World Cup this summer and the bid process. -New Aspire Academies (Qatar's gift to international soccer development) were opened in Thailand, Guatemala, Ivory Coast, Paraguay, Cameroon and Nigeria have opened. Those six countries all have ExCo representation. -Blatter is now calling for a winter WC in 2022, and for neighboring countries to host matches. Which is nice, except none of that was in their bid. Maybe the former has something to do with the fact that none of their dumbass engineering ideas about how to AC an entire country were ever feasible, and the latter goes right to one of the flaws about a country the size of Rhode Island hosting. If UAE and Bahrain host matches, will they get auto bids into the field? Not to mention the Winter Olympics and Super Bowl will gut the TV contract numbers, and the IOC sure as hell isn't going to help FIFA with anything. Finally, the big 5 leagues will fight tooth and nail over disrupting 2 seasons (winter WC means winter Confed Cup) just to accommodate an idiotic locale. I'm still pretty bitter about this bs.
