to bring back the old topic of "why qatar and not the US"...i think its pretty clear what happened:
look, here we have an organization in Charge to give away one of the sought after Events. It cares for well organized tournaments and the expansion of their markets. Besides the members of the boards are prone to bribing.
So, what do you need for an successful bidding?
you need safety, a large market and the prospect of well organized games. This is the case for most bids (seeing Qatar standing for entire Arabia...)
AND THEN you should be best buddies with a lots of board member guys....
if you look in the past you see why qatar has it now:
When the house was burning for Sepp Blatter (past rally for reelection), who was his best buddy? right, the sheikh of Qatar. He even lent him his personal jet to make a couple of campaign trips...as a thnk you he held a FIFA Get-together in Qatar in April, after which he said things like " he sees the bidding of Qatar as very strong. Well, the technical commission held their bidding for the weakest by far (as Russias too, by the way...), but thats nothing Sepp Blatter really cares about. He used this double bidding process as an thank you for old friends, before he leaves. He already mentioned that the FIFA will not give away 2 WCs in one process anymore...
so, having said all that, here is my advice:
"HELLO USA; IF YOU WANT THE WORLD CUP YOU WILL HAVE TO BUY IT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!"
