On the flip side, Qatar initially planned 12 stadiums but has requested that it only need 8 or 9 because its costing an absurd amount to build the stadiums (and fit them with air conditioners to keep the 130 degree heat bearable). The Qatar World Cup is one of the most blatantly obvious examples of bribery ever. $220 billion is the projected cost to host the World Cup for a country of...under 2 million people. I'm sure the vote was on the up and up.
