from the voting trends for the decision of hosting the football WC 2018 & 2022, it is clear that, usa & england have become the most hated countries in the world. in the voting for hosting the 2016 olympics, chicago was eliminated in the first round,& ultimately rio (brazil) won it.similarly in the voting for the hosts for 2018 & 2022 football world cup england & usa respectively, were the first countries to be eliminated. this shows that the countries(developing)are going to tolerate no longer the bossism of usa.the writing is on the wall,it is for usa to read it. this is a lesson for india & our dear PM, india should open up to the developing countries & stop being foot lickers of usa & uk.

dear even .85% in india means a crore population and it means lot for india because they earn foreign exchange.
QATAR has created a miracle. Their determination has paid off. Hats off to the Ruling Al Thani Family. After the unsuccessful bid for Olympics FIFA has shown fairness by selecting the obvioulsly best bid focussing on environment and climate change.

the biggest is football world cup! the 2 biggest events in world sport are the olympics and the football world cup! These 2 events boost economies of the country hosting them. In terms of viewership and global impact no event comes close to the football world cup!

CWG is a govt sponsored game where WC Football is a multinational sponsored Professional game. Far far bigger than your small cricket world cup.

my friend don't compare football with cricket.cricket is nothing compared to football.u pls check how many countries play football professionally and how many countries play cricket in top class.don't include the minnows including bangladesh and zimbabwe(in the top 10 list)reach of football far more compared to cricket.cricket survives since the population of srilanka,pakistan,bangladesh and india are high.where as football has fans from almost all countries in the world.

The thrill, the see-saw of the game, nail biting moments that Cricket provides no other game can even imagine; I am also a football fan but certainly if you watch Cricket (the limited over games) it certainly provides more fun; Most of the Cricket games are entertainer than most of the football games.

Few reasons why soccer is played more;
1> Cricket is a full day game or its duration is longer than any other game so most of the countries have avoided that
2> Cricket at professional levels requires a lot of accessories to be played, where as nothing much is different for a footballer who is playing in the street to go up to the level of national team; so its more common; so more people plays it;
Qatar deserve it. Infact In Arab Countries They are the biggest Sporting Nation.
They always Have a ATP and WTA Tour every year
They also now going to Host Asia Cup Football from January 2011.
This year Eid Holidays they also Held Brazil vs Argentina Match. I have enjoyed it. Great One This will result in Biggest Booming for Qatar, Dubai will go down further, Qatar have Money to develop their own building is their Plus.
