Sepp Blatter, the former President of FIFA, has recently said that picking Qatar as a location for the upcoming 2022 World Cup was a 'mistake'.

Sepp Blatter went on to say that Qatar wouldn't work for hosting the World Cup, as the region was 'too small' for football and the FIFA World Cup.

D'Arcy Waldegrave, host of Sportstalk, addressed these statements and pointed out that the size of Qatar wasn't the biggest issue compared to the heat, homophobia, or workers' rights abuse record.
