Apparently this means, with Russia winning, that Qatar will beat out the US for the 2022 award.

Should know soon...

I'll never make that mistake. Wanna know why?

The first sports video game I ever owned was FIFA Soccer, back on the rusty dusty Sega Genesis™. (16 bit, mother****ers!)

You could play as any national team from around the world, either in an exhibition game or participate in The World Cup itself.

The game always, always started you off playing Qatar first. If you looked at the stats for each team, they were by far the worst. Even their uniforms were crap; most other teams had colorful shirt-pants combinations but Qatar's were just black and that dull ass gray you'd find on 1994 Dell computers.

If you didn't have anyone around who wanted to play a game with you, why you'd just fire that baby up, pick Italy as your team and tear Qatar a new one. On my Genesis I must have kicked their ass over a thousand times.

The Post had a story on this yesterday - predicting Qatar.

The population of Qatar is less than Fairfax County, VA.

The North Korean team was staying at the same hotel as me in Kuwait to play in the Asian Cup Soccer Tournament - 30 years ago. There wasn't a blade of grass in the entire county. They actually held practice in the black-top parking lot.

Summer high temps in Qatar around 120 F - money talks.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

little bit of trivia here, ea sports is working on getting our local vancouver whitecaps in a future edition of the game. we'll be the first mls team in the game. the games are made here, so it's only right, eh.

All logistics aside (temps, hotel capacity for fans and teams, fields, etc)........isn't Qatar ranked like #122 in the world? But they'll get a #1 seed because they're hosting the Cup?

They don't actually exist but it's a nice video.

It will end up being like the moon landing, and the movie Capricorn One.
We'll all watch the World Cup, and love it - but it will have never happened.
I mean, have you actually been to Qatar?! I sure haven't.
