England could emerge as shock contenders to host the 2022 World Cup, as FIFA consider stripping Qatar of their hosting duties.
Numerous deaths have occurred with human rights groups accusing the country of overseeing modern-day slavery, whilst extreme weather conditions have led to calls for the tournament to move locations.
England and the United States will be considered as alternative venues, according to German news outlet Online Focus, whose source is the Saudi Arabian sports minister Turki Al-Sheikh.
The report adds that a decision will be made by FIFA later this summer, with president Gianni Infantino recently dismissing any action of changing prior decisions in order to focus on the future.
A decision will likely only come after Russia 2018 to avoid overshadowing the showpiece event with Germany set to defend their title.

How did Qatar get the bid in the first place?

The source is the Saudi Arabian sports minister. I don't trust this at all. Saudi Arabia just wants to punish Qatar for doing its own thing rather than come into the KSA's sphere. Until the source is someone other than the Saudi sports minister, I'll take this with a grain of salt.

Qatar just finished one of the stadiums and is in the process of building the others... That'd be pretty messed up for the country
