For many Qataris and expats too winning the bid was like a dream come true..a huge opportunity..a host of possibilities!So many hopes were built up. And all of a sudden they are now facing the very large probability of seeing it all end..terribly at that! But I do agree with NIC on this(quoted from another thread on this topic)"At the end, you’ll get what you deserve" and if Qatar deserves better then thats what they'll get so will hold onto the optimism yet!
