I really hope Fifa and Uefa are paying attention to what is going on in France and Qatar right now. To say it is becoming a joke is an understatement. It was a joke when Russia and Qatar were awarded the chance to host a World Cup.

The fact is that since they “won” that right, there have been flashing neon warning signs going off.

The new indication that Fifa ought to strip Qatar of the World Cup is that a Dutch woman who told the police she was raped was convicted for having sex outside of marriage.
