Qatar and the football world cup 2022

Now that Blatter confirmed Qatar position as a host for the FIFA world cup of 2022  - and now as it is cleared from bribery allegations - now that neighboring countries  send back their diplomats I expect quick changes in the city . I expect the acceleration of construction projects and the influx of expat workers .I expat soaring rent and other prices .  I expect chaotic  traffic due to the constructions  and even fewer places at expat schools .

 I expect more entertainment and exhibitions than ever  remembering the years before the Asian Olympic games in 2006 . One festival came after the other ...

I know people who left Qatar and now they wish to return .Life may be more exciting here than ever . May it bring good luck for everyone !

Go Qatar ! Go !
I was really shocked the other day reading the accusations against Qatar -published in the British paper Sunday Times .They claim that Qatar won the 2022 Football World Cup by bribery . I guess this paper is a kind of one which likes publishing defamatory news and even they calculate the costs of the fine if the person they attack would dare to go to the court .





  Why I am so sure that -it is not true ?God knows best of course but  I think If it was true  then they would turn to the police  to the court first of all ...They just want to create an atmosphere against Qatar . Reading discussions about this topic the Brits have strong feeling against this country and the World Cup . .They claim things like - women are not allowed to wear mini-skirts , it is not allowed to drink alcohol  and the people live here like slaves .Then a gay person mentioned that he would be stoned to death if he went there . .. Well -this is certainly not a gay friendly country  -but nobody investigates on anybody's drive .It is allowed to drink at certain places .And I see western and even Arab women wearing miniskirts daily .Certainly it is not the West . But as somebody mentioned this is not a County Cup -but the World Cup . It can be held at any country in the world not only in the West .


Go Qatar go ! Do not care about those accusations .Just Kick It !
