Qatar better not get it. They hosted the African Nations Cup (or whatever it is), and apparently he was a complete disaster.

So, South Africa, Brazil, Russia, Qatar. I suppose Haiti and Iraq are the next logic step on FIFA's list?

by the way...got this from a friend...
It is a punishable offence to drink alcohol or be drunk in public in Qatar.
Offenders may incur a prison sentence or deportation. Alcohol is,
however, available at licensed hotel restaurants and bars, and
expatriates living in Qatar can obtain alcohol on a permit system. You
should not carry alcohol with you, including in your car ...(except to take
it on the day of collection from the warehouse to your home).

Fuck Sepp Blatter. Eric Wynalda hit the nail on the head twice. First he said:
"I fear for the USA because Sepp Blatter is riding off into the sunset. This is his final stand, and he wants that Nobel Peace Prize. Bringing the World Cup to Qatar would go a long way towards his legacy."
Then:
"I'm not even sure if this is about soccer anymore, because Qatar just bought the World Cup."

I like Bill Simmons' comment:
"Any time you can hold a World Cup in a hot Middle East country that's smaller than Connecticut + has no soccer tradition, you have to do it."
SMH, what insanity is this. It's a traveshamockery.

We've qualified for at least one World Cup. Automatically more soccer tradition than Qatar.

All I can do is just laugh right now. Qatar is such a fucking joke to host the WC. I mean I'm disappointed like many others that the US didn't get it but they could have given it someone else who actually deserved it.
