Is there any chance of this leading to Qatar losing it?

If it was won through corruption, then they should lose it. Germany said a while ago that they could take it on if necessary.

As much as Platini is a horrible corrupt little troll @#%&!, there better be some more arrests in connection with this, it's not like he was acting on his own.

Although in the end it's not like any of it will matter. He'll walk away with a slapped wrist at best, and the tournament will still take place in Qatar regardless.

The news report says it’s French anti-corruption officials that have arrested him. So, it might only be him that gets a tug from this investigation.

The World Cup in Qatar. So many things still going wrong and I honestly can't see how they can host it with their ongoing dispute with surrounding countries.

It's so blatantly corrupt too, it's beyond a joke. Even the most open-minded people think it's ridiculous. Weren't they proposing several breaks in games due to the heat? It will be an awful tournament if it's allowed to go ahead, which will be a shame as the last two have been excellent for the most part. Brazil was awesome

What I can't understand is why the individual country FA's and especially players haven't told them to swivel?

And Platini’s son gets a job with Qatari company

All this after Platini had already pledged his vote to the USA.

Nothing going on here. Not a chance.
I thought it was really £#%&!ing dodgy when the Qataries threatened to pull out of PSG when it was revealed they were making a mockery of FFP, and everything went very quiet all of a sudden.

It makes you wonder if there are any honest people left in the world; and I’m not talking about people who are honest simply because nobody’s ever offered them significant financial incentive not to be. That’s easy ‘honesty’.

Yep. These oil £#%&!s have so much they can and do buy everyone.

If they offered anyone on here a million to help city win the league, I bet everyone but maybe 2 or 3 would take it.

In my current situation, then I probably would.

But the £#%&!ers implicated with dodgy dealings at UEFA and FIFA are pretty well off in the first place, it's not like they are struggling to make a living. If I was already worth a million, and then I was offered another million, I'd tell them to £#%&!ing shove it.

Although with that said, if you're president of UEFA or FIFA, then you're probably already a massive dodgy @#%&! who'd sell your own children for a quick quid.

Snap your £#%&!ing hand off mate, I'd do anything for a million pounds, absolutely anything......(family stuff aside)
