Platini

"Platini will gauge the views of the European associations on the issue at a meeting in Dubrovnik, Croatia, in September. He hinted he would prefer to move the 2022 World Cup to January rather than November or December, so it did not disrupt any European club competitions."

Platini thinking of his own interests, well there's a surprise!

Perhaps he could contemplate moving it to a more fan friendly location,like Great Britain.

i would prefer to move it too. To Australia.

Why must the tournament be played in a June? Don't see anything wrong in following a different calendar if there's a workable compromise. Everything musn't ALWAYS be done to favour or conform to Eurocentric interests.

A workable compromise would be to move to a country with a climate compatible climate and a population greater than Darlington"s.

Because Sheriff, when the bids were submitted it was on the basis that the tournament was in June/July. Qatar won having submitted such a bid. They maybe should have submitted a bid for a winter world cup but wouldnt have got it (or the brown envelopes would have to have been fatter). Its like Australia winning it and then saying , we won the bid but all the games will be played in New Zealand.
Should be declared a void bid and re-done.

The bribes have been accepted and probably spent.

No moving it now.
