Due to the lack of posts so far regarding the FIFA World Cup 2022 to be held in Qatar I thought it would be interesting to try & gauge the level of interest regarding this event among Forum members. It would also be good if members could provide reason(s) for their choice.

I am certainly interested in this once in every four year tournament but am also of the view that there are many things happening in the world right now that may be effecting peoples attention.
Covid is still with us although things appear to be getting back to normal, inflation and interest rates are a major issue and effecting many households, the decision to play the World Cup in Qatar has always been strange, the war between Russia and Ukraine is impacting the entire planet and the recent actions of China and North Korea are worrying in my perspective from a simple non political person just watching the news.
Am I a fan of the World Cup, absolutely I am but not quite as focused on it as I have been in the past.
Whilst I feel our beloved National team will struggle to make it out of their group based on some very strong opposition, I certainly hope they display that national pride and give everything they have to represent their country!
Go the Socceroos!

Well said hmm. Good to see someone with an opinion & one based on a sound knowledge of current world issues. I couldn't have said better myself.

I wanted to go to Germany but had a young family and not fair to spend the money. South Africa and Brazil advised by friends from the two countries not to go as too dangerous. Went to Russia and had a great time. Qatar what a hole of a place to have the World Cup, Expect riots when they start arresting people for drinking and women being not dressed properly. This could be the down fall of a corrupt FIFA. Next US, Canada and Mexico will be there. I'm a half glass full to full glass person so Socceroos will get to the Semies. Or maybe lose all 3 games.

I envy you baulkokid for having gone to a World Cup. Something I have never been able to achieve. I am sure it would have been awesome. Not too sure that I would want to attend the current World Cup though.

Judging from some of the comments so far, the choice of Qatar as the host for this current World Cup, could be viewed by some or even many as a negative decision by FIFA. Any further comments on this issue ?

I for one won’t be sacrificing my beauty sleep in the group stage.
As for Qatar, woeful decision to hold it there from an organisation that when it comes to brains are an empty vessel.
Socceroos out in the Group stage.
If we score a goal it will be classed as a successful campaign.
