JOHANNESBURG (AP) — FIFA President Sepp Blatter insisted Monday that the votes to award World Cups to Russia and Qatar were based on developing soccer and had nothing to do with money.
He also noted that the world's biggest soccer tournament will have to adjust to more than just the sweltering desert heat when it takes its party-like atmosphere to the Middle East in 2022.
Blatter said that homosexual fans "should refrain from any sexual activities" that are illegal in Qatar.
Drinking alcohol also is restricted in the country, but Blatter hopes soccer's universal appeal will bridge cultural differences at the 2022 World Cup.
So, gay soccer fans, and soccer fans that like to drink: don't bother going to the 2022 world cup. Will there be anyone left to buy tickets? :P :P
