It makes sense for Blatter and the FIFA, not for the sport. They are basically selling World Cups, ebay-style.

What even goes into decision process for choosing the location for the World Cup? Admittedly I don't really know shit about Soccer, but it seems pretty obvious that there are MUCH larger markets that would certainly be interested.

Well there are enough Muslims in the area.
It's not that important if there are larger markets, they get 90% of the tv rights, add the sponsors who'll pay regardless of the location and the Fifa'll get more than enough. The most important thing, and this lead to this decision, is the question who does the most for the private bank account of the members of the comission. And obviously some camel fuckers bribed them the most.

I mean, no sane person would even think about a World cup there. Whatever the reason of their decision was, the interests of fans and players didn't count.

February: Qatari Fifa executive Mohamed Bin Hammam says he'll block Sepp Blatter's bid for a fourth term in the 2011 elections: "The time has come. Fifa needs an Asian president."

• May: Sepp publicly backs Qatar's 2022 World Cup bid. "I strongly feel the World Cup should come to Qatar!"

• August: Bin Hammam says Sepp deserves a fourth term. "Let me be very clear. I will be backing Sepp Blatter to remain in office. He is my very good friend!"' (Sepp says claims of a deal are malicious. "I have most certainly not made any sort of deal with Qatar. How could I? As president of Fifa I would never misuse my office!")
