FIFA admitted that the effectiveness of Qatar's stadiums was reliant upon an untested technology to provide adequate cooling during the 2022 World Cup. They have broken those promises and players face the prospect of playing in temperatures of up to 50 degrees Celsius, as opposed to the promised 27 degrees that large scale cooling system would provide.

This morning (June 4 2015), former top Fifa official Chuck Blazer admitted that he and others on the executive committee agreed to accept bribes to determine South Africa as the 2010 World Cup host. Prior to recent events, several FIFA members have since gone on record as saying that the decision to award the tournament to Qatar was a "mistake".

There is no doubt that the decision to award the World Cup to Qatar is more than suspect. Considering their failed human rights record, hundreds of migrant workers either dead or treated poorly, admissions from a FIFA executive member that him and others accepted bribes from previous tournaments hosts, it's clear that the only solution is to remove their privilege to host the 2022 World Cup and conduct an inquiry and revote. That is of course, if they're serious about change at FIFA, as opposed to empty statements.

Do not hold it in qatar. If we do we are accepting the human rights abuses and corruption as being OK and normal.

The Cup must be revoked. The decision and subsequent conditions for workers is a gross misconduct. Right the wrong by revoking the decision.

Jack Warner's comments that the corruption goes to the very top further underlies the need for FIFA to be completely transparent about the bidding process that has taken place.

World Cup shiuld not be awarded as a result of bribes. Players shouldn't be playing in 50 degree heat becuase of bribes. Human rights must be considered for host nations. Re-award the 2022 World Cup!!
