Ask me if you have a question about football. World Cup or otherwise.

I don't know everything but I am fairly knowledgable about the game and I follow it internationally. I also love talking about it.

@LordShadowfire They bribed FIFA officials, and that's how they won the bid. This is not a political or racial commentary.

FIFA officials later claimed they were not aware how hot it gets in the Arabian Peninsula's desert. Qatar was willing to put up the cash to build 8 major stadiums, within a few miles of each other, to showcase how much progress they made as a nation.

I don't know what they will do with the stadiums after the Mondial is over. The country has less than 350,000 citizens. The 8 stadiums can seat 380,000 people, which means every single Qatari man. woman and child, can have a guaranteed seat, with plenty of seats to spare.

Burning man idea? They have an edge: clean modern bathrooms and shower facilities for everyone.
