Well well well. Looks like something is starting to happen over the blatant and obvious corruption in FIFA. I hope Blatter and his cronies are jailed, though currently Blatter is free from any investigation by the Swiss and US authorities.

As to the OP, it's sickening. FIFA and the whole worldcup scandal is sickening, but this just adds the cherry to that rather black and haunting cake.

Why on earth the bid ever went to Qatar, a country with no football team and no history of every having been involved in football, I'll never know. Oh wait, yeah, money.

Shame that none of the workers building these stadiums are seeing anything like the back handers that Qatari and FIFA officials saw. Boycott the world cup in Qatar! Not that I know anyone who would go, but I'd be inclined to not even watch it on TV. Would be great to see that world cup tank under the lack of interest paid by anyone. The footballers won't care, they'll get paid either way, and the WC as an institution and tournament will be just fine because everyone would still see it the following round (where next Blatter, North Korea? If they've got the cash I guess!).
