Did the Yanks not vote for us then ?

One of our delegates reckons we had 7 votes 'guaranteed' before voting...

They have shafted us good and propper. Fuck the lot of them.

Shafted? We've been dry bummed

No doubt one of the countries will run out of money and well get the call

No problem he's 3 billion lads, while the country mumbles 'mugs'

This leaves the legacy. But hang on - Qatar only has 600,000 people. So it can't be that either.

its actually 1.69Million and its guesstimated at being 8Million by 2022. So not so bad.

Its not even 1.69M according to the UN and an increase to 8million within 12 years time would be disastrous.
