Blazer questions 2022 World Cup thinking

[2022 WORLD CUP] Chuck Blazer, the lone American on the FIFA executive committee, has broken his silence on the issue ofa winter World Cup, telling Reuters that the idea of switching the 2022 World Cup in Qatar to the winter would “upset the entire football world.” Blazer had been very critical of the Qatar2022 bid’s plan to hold the tournament during the summer — he famously remarked, “You can air condition a stadium, but I don’t see how you can air-condition an entire country — and now says thewhole reaction to the Qatari victory suggested little drift was given to FIFA’s inspection reports in the first place.
