Certainly, you are right.

It is worth noting the other quotes in the article as well:

Quote:
FIFA president Sepp Blatter, in May, called the selection of Qatar as tournament host "a mistake."

"The Qatar technical report indicated clearly that it is too hot in summer, but the executive committee with quite a big majority decided all the same that the tournament would be in Qatar," Blatter told told Swiss television station RTS.
