@Ahli38 You'll get over it. I used to feel old and shit and then I just became desensitized. People grow old, and it's good they play their last tourney so we get fresh blood. Ronaldo is fit and all that but he needs to make way man (for example).
This is a rather closed country, so the news from there does not come in as much as we would like. I am also interested to know at what stage the preparations for the championship are going on. As far as I remember, something very cool was planned there, like fully air-conditioned stadiums, I wonder if they were able to implement it?
As for the trip, I would not go even if I had the opportunity. Too big cultural differences.
We should respect all countries' own religious and cultural issues. Qatar administration is very strict regarding religious restrictions. They may have been a bit flexible at FIFA's request during the World Cup. However, I don't think the Qatar World Cup will disappoint the audience. I am saying this because they have spent an estimated 220 billion to host the World Cup. Since the weather is very hot, they have several air-conditioned stadiums. I think overall the audience will enjoy the World Cup in Qatar.
Er, yeah dude no need to beat a dead horse, something discussed to the death with no real value or content. Anyway, my question and KTChampions' response was more about actual prepping in terms of technical facilities (stadium).
Think we all need to be more aggressive in reporting...
