Let's not forget that qatar learned important lessons from hosting the asian olympics, and failing to host the world olympics. The campaign was done well this time around, corruption allegations were swiftly avoided, and there is plenty of time to implement the projects proposed. I am dying for qatar to win the bid, not because I am a football fan...but because I know the government will have to pick up the pace and finish up the infrastructure, and a fifa committee will be coming to check on the work from time to time...oversight is always good, especially in doha where corruption is a way of life.
one important issue the Fifa reports left out is the high possibility of a war breaking in the region, that's the real "high overall risk" i believe, not the hot weather...a funny coincidence is that as we speak, both possibilities of having the worldcup in middle east, and war in middle east are being considered by four letters acronym organizations in europe...FIFA and NATO.
