jeftah and gene_Iv: Both of you are simply parroting the views of Wild Turkey who I have clearly pointed out is totally biased against Arabs, the Muslims and Qatar yet he loves to stay here as the glitter of the Riyal is just too good for him to sacrifice and return home. What makes the two of you so sure that Qatar got awarded the World Cup through bribery? Are you member of FIFA? Qatar was awarded the World Cup by FIFA and not by any other organization. They are yet to say anything on this subject but the two of you appear to have more knowledge on the matter just like Wild Turkey than FIFA itself. Have you come across "any report" so far from FIFA that has "openly" accused Qatar of bribery? But then, you must go about accusing a country that is giving you so much. gene_Iv: I agree with you that there are concerns about the living conditions of Asian expats, and not western expats as they live here better than what they had back home even getting to "choose" in which building of "Pearl Tower" they should live in. I also agree that sponsorship laws need need overhauling. But give the government a chance and be a bit patient. As for your views "how the hell they can take care of the event of this magnitude," you are simply underestimating Qatar. The country has money and you cannot deny that. Money can and does make things move. Developments and progress and changes are already taking place at rapid pace all over Qatar. All you need to do is just improve your sight and vision. You will see things in reality for yourself.
