Country to be wealthiest nation ever to host the Fifa World Cup and is the smallest nation to stage the event since Uruguay in 1930

Amid the wreckage and fallout in Zurich on Thursday of another failed England World Cup bid, the most remarkable global story of the day was surely Fifa's decision for the 2022 tournament.

WHAT.... No fan zones for us?

I was afraid they might hit us with the "family day" stick at the fan zone.
