World Cup 2018 Russia and 2022 Qatar. Confirmed. Not great for fans.

Qatar gets 2022. Lovely place, temperate climate, and a huge and enthusiastic population of football lovers….

— Rory Cellan-Jones (@ruskin147) December 2, 2010

Qatar's climate: "June to Sept" (when the World Cup is on) "is extremely hot and intensely humid." That will make for good football then.

feel a bit empty… so many people sounding so gutted on five live

England only two votes out of 22 in the first round. Pick the bones out of that. Abject after the hope earlier in the day. #fb
