[QUOTE="ZeFrenchy, post: 547656, member: 47244"] This week, French weekly magazine France Football publishes a 20-page report where the validity of Qatar's election as 2022 World Cup hosts is questioned. The main reason, is that French President of the time, Nicolas Sarkozy, had supposedly pressured FIFA vice-president Michel Platini to vote for Qatar, after being promised investments from the Qatari royal family in France worth several million euros. This adds to accusations of buying votes from delegates from Cameroon and Côte d'Ivoire. The whstle blower then retreated his accusations saying he had made everything up. Votes by several other African federations, besides those from not-so-well-reputed Julio Grondona from Argentina and Ricardo Texeira from Brazil have been questioned. Up to date, nothing has been proven. Do you guys think there is enough reason to repeat the voting? [/QUOTE]
