MARTIN SAMUEL – CHIEF SPORTS WRITER IN QATAR: The fans who were paid to be the cheerleaders of this World Cup will not be receiving their promised daily allowances. At source, the beer that was supposed to flow freely had been refused. An iron fist and the threat of suspensions put the rainbow armband movement to a halt. So one thing remains: the narrator. What would happen if, by 8pm local on November 29 - or maybe even 6pm four days earlier - there was no more Qatar at the Qatar World Cup?What promises might be reneged upon then?What welcome mat might be hastily rolled up and put away? Nobody knows what will happen next. Without Qatari interest, how long before FIFA and their hangers-on seriously outstay their welcome?
