The noise is starting to build ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Denmark talisman Thomas Delaney has hit out at the concept of the World Cup taking place in Qatar, claiming that ‘nobody thinks’ it is a good idea.

The decision to award Qatar the hosting rights of the World Cup have been heavily criticised by most in the football world, amid a corruption probe within FIFA.

But it remains full steam ahead for the competition, with it set to begin next winter, as the world’s elite battle it out for the biggest prize in international football.
That, however, has not stopped the dissenting voices raising their concerns.
“None of us think it’s a good idea by any means,” Delaney told Danish TV.
