" Who are we, the Europeans, to demand that this event has to cater to the needs of 800 mi

llion Europeans above all? ... We must accept that football has moved away from being a European and South American sport, it has become the world sport that billions of fans are excitedly following every week, everywhere in the world."

on that i agree with Sep Blatter and would have no problem with disruption to our season for a December or January world cup (there, i've said it.)

awarding the World Cup to Qatar was still a corrupt and wrong decision though.
