Highest number of jailed journalists in the world , recognizing the Armenian genocide they committed , Kurds human rights , beating protesters in the square ...Turkish infamous prisons reputation.. Turkey has its fair share

But, but... Turkey is an ally of the United States and a NATO member, so none of those things you mentioned actually happened! :pep:

Turkey don't really have the problems you stated. They also have a few top class stadiums already albeit three of them located in the same city, Istanbul.

Wait did you say Turkey doesn't have a problem with democracy and human rights? Either you are pro the Sultan or you haven't been following the news. Turkey has the same mess as Other Middle eastern countries. Turks think they are European but they think and behave very Middle eastern. They play beautiful football too :)

As for Brazil, its a nation that embraced democracy and taking steps forward as the case with other Latin American countries.

What is behaving middle eastern?

Turkey got a bad reputation among the things you mentioned Beast, but they are no way as bad or even close to some other countries.

The US Gov value human rights and democracy so highly that they will even support a dictator and his wrongdoings as long as he sucks up to them.

You forgot the occupying of Northern Cyprus? Which they're trying to claim as an independent state, they've got their own flag. No other country in the world recognises it.

Michel Platini backs possible Qatar 2022 World Cup re-vote if corruption is proven

European soccer chief Michel Platini, one of the most prominent figures to vote four years ago to hold the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, has called for the vote to be held again if allegations of corruption in Qatar's bid are proved.



You know what after this whole weather debacle I think Fifa wants out... They have pretty much said if the allegations are true they will re-vote so imo it looks like a done deal.

This is what you could expect if Korea were to host it:

Your obsession with Hanryu is kind of sickening.

2030 will be Argentina-Uruguay given it will be the centenary. 2018 will be Russia so perhaps the AFC will move it to China ? They have the stadiums.

Coca Cola are now wanting an investigation into the Qatar bid. If other sponsors get on board well. The treatment of workers there is diabolical.
