After voicing concerns over the Qatar’s suitability as 2022 World Cup, England boss Gareth Southgate has been told to ‘pick his words carefully’  by Qatar 2022  chief executive Nasser Al Khater

Accusations concerning the treatment of migrant workers and a poor record of human rights have plagued the Gulf state since it was controversially awarded the finals in 2010.

Al Khater who was questioned on the concerns responded “My question would be who from the England squad has been to Qatar? My question to the coach is has he been to Qatar?”

“Is he basing his opinions and his public statements on what he has read? Because it is kind of an issue when you just base an opinion on which you are very vocal about on things which you have read.

“Somebody with a lot of influence such as Southgate, somebody with a big audience that listens to what he has said has got to pick his words carefully.
