Sepp Blatter: Qatar government sabotaged US, Australia bids to host 2022 World Cup

“Bad news: Qatar accused of denigration of other bidders! Fact is Qatar won after a political intervention by the former French President [Nicolas] Sarkozy to FIFA Vice-President [Michel] Platini,” Blatter posted on Twitter. He said details could be found in his upcoming book.
In 2015, Blatter and Platini were let go by FIFA and banned from the game for eight years following a series of corruption scandals.
The Sunday Times report stated that the Qatari campaign involved recruiting influential figures “to attack the bids in their own countries, seeking to create the impression that there was ‘zero support’ for the World Cup domestically.” Strong backing from residents is among FIFA’s chief criteria in granting hosting duties.
The report, based on documents leaked by a whistle-blower from the Qatari bid team, said Doha relied on a public relations firm and former US intelligence officials to spread “fake propaganda” in Australia and the United States, two of the major bidders to host the 2022 World Cup.
The revelations indicate that Qatar could have been in violation of FIFA guidelines, which stipulate that bidding countries must not make “any written or oral statement of any kind, whether adverse or otherwise, about the bids or candidatures of any other member association.”

Something they seem to have become quite proficient at.

We already know that Bill Clinton got $$$$$ to undercut tthe US bid, which he was there to promote. And some derelict Liberal Politician from Detroit did the leg work in DC.
USA was odds on, Qatar not even considered a contender.
$$$$ shows up in Clinton Foundation from Qatar, suddenly USA loses the bid.

Is there a reason that we should believe anything Blatter has to say?

And let's remember, Bill Clinton could charm the pants off a person. If he had gone there to represent USA for the bid, and not undercut it, he would of charmed FIFA enough that they would of hooked him up with 10-12 chubby girls in his hotel room.

The voters only cared about money and power. Bill Clinton couldn't really offer them either of those things.

It's kind of hard to separate politics and FIFA world cup bids, baw. I'll allow it.

Seeek is the only one really mentioning politics, and he's only making guesses.

These delegates were getting paid off with sacks of money and countless other perks. What would Bill Clinton smooth talking have really done? The only way to under cut a bid was with lots of money something Qatar has plenty off.
