If you want to expand horizons, move the WC to the only place it hasn't been - Oceania (yes i know we're officially in Asia with FIFA but we're still part of Oceania also). That's expanding horizons.
This country goes F***ing mental when the WC is on, in fact when any form of sporting event is on. The Olympics was one of the best ever and we showed we can handle it all yet when the FFA show FIFA how we are developing the game, moving players abroad, getting more interest in the sport, they say "Sorry, Qatar is a better spot for the biggest event in the world." What the F**k?! Some people never even heard of Qatar until a few days ago. Their country is the size of my neighbourhood FFS and they'll be hosting the WC.
The sport has revolutionised in Australia yet we get kicked in the bollocks and receive ONE vote. One vote?! F**k off.
I mean, at least Russia has shown strength on the world stage and deserve to get it. They have a growing league and Zenit were the team in the spotlight a couple seasons ago that produced great players who are now in the top bracket in the world. That shows merit in the decision.
Enjoy it Qatar, then slip back into oblivion where you are/belong. F***ing bullshit.
