After watching Qatar's presentation for hosting 2022 FIFA World Cup bid, you will agree that with or without any bribe allegation, Qatar deserves to win. Great presentation! BTW, I'm from Australia, and we got only 1 miserable vote!

Big Oprah investment is a canny move

The AUD45 million is a complete waste of money. OK over 200 years ago this was a country filled with convicts transported from POME land, but history just repeats itself telling the world that even an Australian kangaroo can commit a crime like stealing the World Cup from FIFA.

The presentation does not depict logo of FIFA, excitement of a soccer game, venues, and support of the game by the people of Australia. Instead, yesterday's heroes, who are not soccer fans, are endorsing the bid. Using Julia Gillard is such a bad idea - she needs a lot of training on her voice and acting.
