It both boggles my mind and I'm not surprised that Qatar got it. FIFA isn't exactly the most...respectful...of organizations and from what I've heard from a few friends, the committee members that decide who the next host is get a lot of "gifts" from the cities that are trying to woo them. Qatar is quite wealthy so it's understandable how they would be able woo themselves into hosting the World Cup in 2022.
