It is like hunting a dead horse if you keep coming forward again and again and present yourself as the best viable option for a long running debate about 2022 world cup. Yes, we are talking about Qatar and how a shift from traditional timings could mean for soccer spirit. There have been countless debates over the issue and every notable has until been given his own opinion about the ways organizers can handle the rising Sun over there or if a winter event is an option. That is why, when FIFA recently announced that they would look for best possible dates for a first ever winter World cup, it was both a good and a bad news for fans across the world. While, it would be the biggest achievement for Asian regions coz they would see biggest sports event being played in their own State for the first time while traditional soccer places like Northern America and European soccer notables have until been criticizing FIFA deciding to forego age-old traditional values and sentiments attached with a summer world cup. After a gap of few weeks, yet another high profile soccer mind has come forward and asked world governing body to set aside its mandate to switch the event to Nov–Dec as they are fully equipped to take over the responsibility if Qatar fail to provide adequate infrastructure for a June world cup.
The statement which looks to be more criticism than acclaim is made by MLS Commissioner Don Garber who reiterated his earlier assertions that US is in best position to comfort all the qualifiers without forcing them to enter into the field in intolerantly climate conditions. Garber also talked about the drama associated with FIFA vice-president Jack Warner and claims that he was paid somewhere 1.2 million from Mohamed Bin Hammam, a Qatari businessmen and most influential personality in Asian football, during IMG World Congress of Sports. While talking about US position to take over the glory, he added, “That now is going to get a lot more legs. If more comes out, who knows what happens. It’s very disappointing. It’s an unpleasant aspect of the global football business.
“We certainly would be happy to host it here and have a lot of big stadiums that could turn it around and host on a very short notice. But we’re going to be on the sidelines on this and hope that FIFA can resolve this in a way that’s good for the sport.”
