Asian soccer chief Mohamed Bin Hammam was banned for life on Saturday after being found guilty by world soccer's ruling body of trying to buy votes ahead of last month's FIFA presidential election.    Saturday's decision was announced by FIFA's ethics committee following a two-day hearing. Qatari Bin Hammam withdrew his candidacy on May 29 and Swiss Sepp Blatter was re-elected president unopposed for a fourth term three days later.

I can't help wondering - sorry I mean hoping - if this will affect the Qatar World Cup and whether there could possibly be any knock-on consequences for all those bent bar stewards who voted for Qatar.

Somehow I doubt it, but you never know.

Qatar is not easy to deal with inside the field. So don't expect! the ball is round .. just watch to see results!
