[QuantumJG]

Australia lost the bid! I really thought the kangaroo would have won us 2022.

Interesting read.

Rediculous article. As for the "world wide critics", it's basically the yanks, who are up against us in the race. Who wouldve thought they'd be critical of it?!

Stupid Australian media, instead of being positive of our bid, they quote a competitiors view of it. Lastly, who watched the two major stuff ups of the yanks presentation? Why isnt that getting reported.

For what its worth, I thought it was appealing to the 60 year old ExCom members.

America always makes mistakes so writing about that would really cause us to say "meh".

lol, wasn't the Australian bid removed first (unfortunately), and then the US lost, leaving Quatar?
