    That is fucking ridiculous and a disgrace. It was shit in Qatar in the middle of winter and it’ll be shit in Saudi. What a joke. The levels of bribery and corruption in world football now is incredible.

      ESPN is reporting that Australia dropped their bid, so SA was the only bidder.

      Australia is saying they dropped their bid because the Asian Football federation backed SA and therefor wouldn’t vote for Australia.
