Blatter is such a clown.

Sepp Blatter has confirmed that he will ask the FIFA executive committee to move the 2022 World Cup in Qatar to the winter, insisting: "Where there's a will, there's a way."

Temperatures in the Gulf state can reach 50°C during the summer, and FIFA president Blatter told L’Equipe in May that it is “not rational and reasonable to play in June-July”.

Speaking in Austria on Wednesday, Blatter said: “There is still enough time. I will bring this up to the executive committee.

“If this World Cup is to become a party for the people, you can’t play football in the summer. You can cool down the stadiums, but you can’t cool down the whole country.”
