Yeah, the UAE have gone on about wanting to host a World Cup before, forgetting the fact that it's tiny, roads are gridlocked already and the summer is mid-40 degrees upwards. Cant see it happening

True but they're also not keen on looking bad and attempting to host this would be a shambles. They like to chuck things out there like that to make themselves sound important

| Put roofs over the stadia, masses of a/c as is the norm et voila! A WC in the Middle East.

They cant even organise a concert here with traffic gridlock and chaos Current stadiums are rubbish as well. Building some nice shiny new ones but not enough for something like this.
They can stick with the 'Gulf Cup'

| Agree. Time to merge it with Asia, while also merge CONCACAF and CONMENBOL. Oh, and while they're at it, incorporate more global WC qualifiers to provide more of a balance of the best teams in the competition. </BLOCKQUOTE>
Completely agree with Gav on this point.
