Sometimes you own the libs. Sometimes, the libs own you.

The US has a good chance of winning the bid tomorrow I reckon - is there much interest over there? I sense America would be more ready and receptive to it than the last time in '94. And it's about time you got serious about competing in a truly global sport... I can also recommend cricket

It's not personal. It's just war.

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

All in all, I'd say we're at least as excited about it as we are about the 2022 Olympics and the 2022 Superbowl... I tend to not start the tailgate party for sporting events a dozen years in the future for at least 11.99 years. :)

I'll be watching the announcement in a few - I'd love to have the opportunity to see WC matches live in the states.

Like woman, I am a mystery.

And the results are in.

2018: Russia
2022: Qatar

Interesting choices to say the least by FIFA.

Surprised by Russia, but doubly surprised by Qatar: 50 degree celcius local heat apparently, and a plan to air-condition whole stadia...

I'll say - those 2 seem like hard sells in terms of getting people to travel there.
And Qatar... aren't they a dry country? I mean "dry" like do they allow the sale of alcohol, BEER?

I heard something about special 'alcohol allowed' zones... :-/

Most Muslim countries do sell alcohol to tourists.

I don't "hate" soccer, but the last World's Cup was really quite the grand snoozefest. Weeks of games with teams running around back and forth with virtually no scoring....1-0 games, ties, and those uber-obnoxious vuvuzelas....sorry, it's just too damn booor-hor-hor-rrring!!!
