'Winter WC to cause chaos'

Sepp Blatter's plans to move the 2022 World Cup in Qatar to the winter would spark global "chaos", Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said on Thursday.
FIFA president Blatter last week confronted the increasingly prickly issue by stating he believed the tournament could not take place in the summer, and that position has been backed by the international players' union FIFPro.
They are concerned about the health dangers -- to players and fans -- of staging the tournament in the Gulf in June and July, where temperatures rocket to 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit).
"We are on the record as saying we don't think it works and we think it's wrong," Scudamore told AFP in Hong Kong.
"We think that the World Cup should have been bid for on the basis that it was going to be where it was going to be, and the great and good of FIFA and the wise people that made those decisions should have made their decisions in the full knowledge of what the consequences were."
