When i saw today's news Qatar winning rights to host 2022 world cup i felt amused. I am not the avid soccer fan but i am hardcore fan of world cup matches.I hardly missed any matches featuring Germany (my favorite team) in past two world cups. I also dreamed of viewing at least one live world cup match featuring Germany.
In 2022 world cup i feel sorry those fans and journalists who wants to see these matches and also for the players to play in such horrible climate(42 C).When I was looking things on travel advisories (to know the views of the western world on my country) i came across travel the advisories issued by Britain on traveling to Qatar(see the link below). Based on these travel advisories and some other comments made in travel info sites i am now quite frightened to even transit via Qatar.They have very strict laws and stringent punishment even for peccadillo like shouting in public leave alone drinking or kissing in public. I saw how fans enjoyed themselves in South Africa this time. What kind of fun you think u can have in Qatar?. A jeep ride in hot desert, sorry i am not working national geographic. Man nor I am going there on spiritual trip. Its damn boring country with so many donts. I just want to enjoy the euphoria. I don't want go there and get myself jailed for rest of my life for this little enjoyment . Qatar is definitely not my choice for hosting an multicultural event like this . so my verdict is 'Wait till 2026 or start saving now for 2018 world cup".
