    Is your neck also twitching to propel your head forward into a striking position? :laugh:

    World Cup Schedule Change for 2022?

    If it is actually decided to do this then the bidding for the 2022 World Cup should be re-opened. This was not given as a consideration when Qatar was awarded the 2022 World Cup.



    Blatter: 2022 could be held at end of year

    Reuters

    LAUSANNE - The 2022 World Cup in Qatar could be held at the beginning of the year or the end of it, FIFA president Sepp Blatter said on Tuesday.

    "For FIFA, if there's the will to change something for the international calendar for one year, it's possible to do, because if there's a will, there's also a solution," the head of world football's governing body told reporters.

    "But for now, there are the pros and cons but it is premature to make any decisions on what may happen but all I am saying is that winter is not only January and February, winter is also the end of the year."

    Since Qatar in December won the right to host the finals with a plan to stage them in June/July, Blatter has said that the 2022 tournament could be held in the winter time to avoid the summer heat in the desert state.

    Rather than holding it in Qatar in the heat of summer and messing with the world's league play, maybe they should hold it somewhere else.

    Call me a cynic, but I bet someone's palm is a bit greasy.
