Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zurich, 2 December 2010: FIFA president Sepp Blatter pulls the name Qatar from the envelope to reveal the hosts of the 2022 World Cup. The accusations fly and the recriminations start. But once it's all sunk in, we start to look at maps and temperature charts, and try to scrape together fragments of knowledge about kingdoms in the Arabian desert. The Armchair Guide looks beyond the myths and preconceptions to provide the average fan with sound information about what a World Cup in the desert might look like. Was the bidding process corrupt? How many people actually did die building stadiums? How hot will it be? Can I go there with my mates and have a drink anywhere? What will the legacy be - both in the region and for the global game? The Armchair Guide takes a light-hearted, sideways look at the tournament, using stories from within and beyond the game to cover everything about the 2022 Winter World Cup. Although the book can't claim to pick a winner, it goes some way to shedding light on football's place in a changing world.
