Theorizing won't win the bid...you're right, but neither will negativity. They have already made claims that if this bid is approved things will change here. There is criteria obviously that FIFA has in place - Qatar doesn't have any choice but to comply (by opening bars, allowing more alcohol, taking a more international stance). At the end of the day there will be bars to drink in...but possibly no pork? Big deal. Qatar NEEDS this World Cup to push them into changing these old school ways of life.
