Breaking news that Michel Platini has been arrested in France over the award of the W/C to Qatar. I sense a lovely juicy story about to unfold here.
The whole “successful bid” had a stench about it from Day One. As we have known for at least 70 years - you can’t trust a Frenchman. I bet he took millions.
It came as a surprise to FIFA that Qatar is very hot in the summer …. did nobody at FIFA have a look at Wiki before awarding them a summer WC?
Can't get rid of the picture in my mind of Blatter drawing the card, pausing, and shouting "QATAR!!!!!!!", pretending to be surprised.
