Qatar with a population of 1.5 million are hosting a WC while our best stadium is the 36 year old Azadi, Naghshe Jahan stadium is under construction during the past 17 years and many of our clubs have to play in Baatlaagh or Dastandaaz during their IPL fixtures

[Zamboor]

Corruption in the system. england = the best candidate got elminated in round 1......

yeah give the worldcup to counrtys without a population so the arenas are 60% empty like in africa with vuvuzlguyusgsagsehdfjgh

I also got some news that the Qataries, backed with the rest of the arab money are preparing a big Arabian Gulf propaganda during the Asian Cup.
As they did to a lesser degree during the Asian Games in China.

I cant believe people are angry at Qatar getting the hosting rights because Iran didnt!!!
Qatar bought 14 votes over a country like Japan who would revolutionize everything, if they had won the bid Im positive everyone in the world would have won. The only winners of this farce are the bribers and the bribed.

[mra10]

Iraninan want to have WC in Iran but it's the IR that doesn't want it. They're to worry how to control the people...I could be wrong but this is what I think about it

Mr. Boro Baba ... yes, what I am talking about might be a little hard for everyone to understand. Fortunately for you, you can be just happy that is close to Iran and don't really care about anything else. That is not so much the case with me and there are many more who think like me!

best candidate for you, others might have different opinion thats not corruption thats called majority rule.
Btw if you look at the last few world cups you would realize fifa has long term vision of developing football in other regions of the world thats how japan and korea got a chance and see how they developed.

[HuSsAiN]

Why are we bringing Iran to it, when we were not even nominated? Jeez.

I'm sorry.. football lost.. Corruption,Money and Greed were the reasons Russia+Qatar won.

Please don't give me rubbish that this will 'improve' Qatars football team and that. Rubbish.

japan and south korea has always been modern countries dude. south africa is ****ed up because the WC now what an improvement.

Qatar GOT NO POPULATION . HAVE FUN WATCHING THE WORLD CUP WITH NO FANS IN THE CROWD BUT ONLY RICH ARAB ****ERS

Your a joke, and a disgrace to Iranian.

With Korea/Japan, they have wonderful fans with alot of passion.. Look at the previous World Cups, and see how many fans they actually have.

Qatar - never been champions of Asia.. never qualified to a World Cup.. and when they do have games(competitive games aswell) , the atmosphere is so flat,poor and just not even football spectacle to watch.


Best candidate? Ya, in terms of wealth and money, but best candidate to host a World Cup? Not in a million chance.

England losing in the first round is a JOKE. Jack Warner (with 3 committees) promised to vote for England, but changed his mind(probably due to panorama)

FIFA - your a joke. Clearly Qatar+Russia had a way of supporting each other for the voting scheme.
