I don't think you should really need such proof. I think the key points are enough to leave FIFA with no other plausible explanation in why they voted Russia to host a world cup. They haven't even tried to swing it either, they've just taken back handers and rigged it without diving into the above facts about Russian football and Russia as a nation. The same then applies to Qatar. Should we ever be hosting a World Cup in a country that fails to meet basic civilised laws of other countries in the world.
Saudi Arabia, Qatar and even Brazil in its current state should be nowhere near a world cup. The world cup is meant for everyone, I see that but I honestly believe it should be set on a country that has standards and laws that match those of the travelling supporters or reflect on what those fans already understand. Hundreds of thousands of people will descend on Qatar and essentially be vacationing in a separate world to the rest of us. Thus far they've only violated every human rights law known to man though
so we'll see how our World cup goes.
The solution for Russia is simple but they'll never act. A DQ at this stage is utterly dismal and hopeless. An actual message would be disqualifying them from the 2018 world cup. That would be hilarious and at the same time show that the governing bodies of football still have testicles.
