Anyone interested in FIFA, and the reasons why Blatter is so unpopular should really check out Foul! by Andrew Jennings
It's a bit out of date now, but is a great investigation into all sorts of corruption at FIFA, but especially into the bribes that ISL paid to Blatter to secure World Cup rights.
It's pretty difficult to show evidence when they have no transparency, I mean, it's almost like a mafia organization, but there's a few books on the subject, like Foul!: The Secret World of Fifa: Bribes, Vote Rigging and Ticket Scandals, Badfellas: FIFA Family at War and probably the best one (and most up-to-date) is written by an UK journalist recently but I forgot the name, "FIFA: How the game was won/lost" or something like that.
If you start reading up on this subject there's no question that bribery was involved during this Qatar deal, especially not since Blatter's whole campaign to rise to power in FIFA from out of nowhere was paid by Qatar in the first place.
The best evidence to support bribery is probably that FIFA presidential candidate Mohamed Bin Hammam got a lifetime ban for it recently although he was only Blatter's scapegoat.
