So, here's the latest iteration of a world contest: a bunch of Arabs roped the FIFA oligarchs into approving their bid 12+ years ago to host the tournament. Never mind that the country is smaller than Rhode Island, doesn't/didn't have enough stadium venues to host an egg roll contest, or even have a team that could be called a contender on any stage. But, Gianni Infantino, lead operative for FIFA oligarchy, decided he could support the venue. Well, how much was promised to the FIFA peeps? Nobody has that answer; probablyright there with how crypto coins are counted. Nonetheless, the first games were played this week and one surprise: Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia. Hmmmm. Lionel: you has some 'splainin' to do.
The USA with a young team but not without experience was matched up with a UK team(don't call it that): Wales. A small proud country of Welshmen. They held the USA to a 1-1 tie. Hmmm. Could it be the USA won't make it out of group play? One can ask that of Argentina, a pre-tournament hopeful, certainly. Lionel has never won a World Cup for Argentina. He's won about everything else. So, The french, defeating an Australian side today, looks very could for a defending champion. Not easy to repeat; hasn't been done in 70+ years.
So, keep watching, make up a story of your own about why Qatar is the host. Nobody can say you're wrong, no matter how wild you make it. Keep smilin'.
