Default World Cup 2022

And the winner is...Qatar? A place where being gay is illegal, women just acquired the right to vote in 1999, liquor is illegal, the entire country is the size of Connecticut, oh, and the average temperature during the months of June and July is roughly 115 degrees.

Good luck with that choice, FIFA.

Google News has like 4,000 something articles in the last day if one types "FIFA" and "corrupt" in their news search engine.

I'll go with Brazil in World Cup 2022. Their top player is 7 right now.

I'm shocked - shocked! - that Qatar bribed folks to vote for their World Cup bid. That turn of events was completely unexpected.

Can't wait to get tickets! I'm sure in 10 years things in the middle east will be fine. The food shortages are just temporary.

Mark it down. The World Cup won't occur in that country.

I can't imagine why not. If the ban on most personal choices wasn't enough, surely the fans will come for the 115 degree average heat in June and July. A Qatar World Cup just screams success.

I would be marginally surprised if we have a Presidential election in this country come 2020.

Of course there will be no election come 2020. Obama is doing such a good job they are going to coronate him as King and we will all live happily ever after.
