FIFA GOT IT RIGHT MAY BE.

All eyes were literary fixed on Zurich for all day long, but as soon as the announcements were made. The news was not at all surprising: Qatar has never had the opportunity to host the World Cup, now this wealthy middle eastern nation is going to do that in twelve years time. Russia is not famous especially when it comes to press freedom and democracy and the rule of law, but its billionaries are literary crazy about the game of football. Isn't it a good time for Russians to enjoy football fiesta at home?

As regard the other nations, at FIFA there is nothing like so-called dominant powers who try to elbow countries. No, it is about Fair Play, which is more or less about giving each and every nation the chance to host the World Cup.

Which is why England, South Korea, the United States and disappointingly Australia was equally ditched. While we are yet to know what precisely happened, but one thing we can speculate is that FIFA is trying to assert its voice tilting toward the direction of uncharted territories.

Except Australia, the other countries have at least even if was long time ago as in the case of England have hosted the WORLD CUP. So it is time to give chance to those who have never hosted the WORLD CUP.
