FIFA 2018 location decided

It was decided not too long ago that the 2018 FIFA World Cup would be hosted in Russia by our vodka drinking uhh... Russians.
Each country that wished to be the host of the World Cup presented the FIFA council with a presentation with the "Why it should be in our country" sort of thing (sounds kinda like a job interview). Then the council goes through several rounds of voting, with the countries that receive the least amount of votes being eliminated (hahahaha England being taken out with only 2 votes on the first round what???).Russia won on the second round with 13 votes and are already planning to build thirteen (wow...) stadiums and renovate three.

On the other side Qatar won the bid to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup. All I know is that Qatar is mega rich from all that oil/gas/power stuff that it's sitting on in the Persian Gulf (so their stadiums have to be good right?) and run by an even richer royal family. People in USA were super-duper-mega-not-so-awesome disappointed by this and not only did thousands of angry burger-eating (that's mean) American citizens spam Twitter with stuff like "Qatar? Wow. Soccer actually just got less relevant in the US". What's so wrong with the Middle East? Oh.. wait...

Anyway, wait around for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Rio De Janeiro and international relations to improve!

  2. Thousands? More like millions. But then think about all the money they'll potentially get if people fill up the stadiums.
