World Cup 2022

In the last class my group presentation was on Qatar and how they were chosen to host the 2022 W.C. My group showed a power point comparing the USA and Qatar and yes I know were all Americans, but it seems as if were all on the same page, and that is that the United States should have been awarded the bid.

There is a website in which fox sports writes about each countries chances of winning the '22 bid. They came up with 80% odds that the Americans would not have to travel too far, as the W.C. would be in the states. However, Qatar did not have the lowest odds of the countries competing. Japan and South Korea actually had single digit chances of hosting the greatest world wide sporting event in history. Notice, this article was written before the announcement of the bid.
Apparently FIFA believes that Qatar will be able to provide air-conditioning in every stadium and the average temperature of 95 degrees will not be a problem. But how can you pass up on the large stadiums here in America?
Maybe, as mentioned in class Qatar will be able to land soccer in the country. After the '94 W.C. in the states, the MLS was created two years later. Hopefully, with this World Cup taking place in 12 years Qatar is able to strike up a team that can be competitive because the host country is given an automatic bid.

It's Time To Move On

We all witnessed the sch laking the Cleveland Cavaliers suffered thanks to The Miami Heat. "The Return" turned out to be yet another event that Cleveland fans will want to forget, but it will take time. The loss cannot be blamed on the fans of Cleveland in this one, they came out fired up and the chants of "Boo's" were so incredibly loud. This leaves me to the question of, is it time to forget and let go? Personally, yes! There is nothing as fans that we can do, except heckle him when he comes and plays at The Q. This reminds me of Wayne Gretzky being traded to the states. We know that it devastated fans, but he is still known as a icon and the greatest player ever, maybe that is why Canada is so proud of him.
At this moment in time, I do not believe that LeBron James will ever be loved again in the state of Ohio. Like I said, yes we may be able to forgive him. However, the welcome return will never be as sweet as it was for the first 7 years of his career.
