Bit worried about this talk of a Christmas Day World Cup final in Qatar. Don't tell me they've managed to bribe Santa as well.

Thanks heavens that Qatar are now holding their World Cup in the winter, when gay people are all hibernating. That's that problem solved.

So Qatar 2022 is going to be held in November and December.
