American Football vs. World Football

Just got back from my favorite restaurant on my side of town. The place where the waiters would rather watch "WaterWorld" than give me my dinner check. I enjoy watching soccer (world football) but not every day of the week. The weekends are for football anything from high school on Friday, to college on Saturday and Pro ball on Sunday and Monday, but not every day of the week and on multiple channels.
Come on people, get a life. Tonight the entire broadcast was about Qatar being awarded the 2022 World Cup Games. For nearly an hour they showed the people of Qatar driving up and down the streets of Doha with flags waving and people standing and poking thru the sun roof on their limo. Is this going to go on for twelve more years......come on.....we are talking twelve years from now. It is exciting news but let's come down to reality. If I were a soccer player and I was fortunate enough to make it to the finals, I might want to reconsider. Doha is near Abu Dhabi and if the games are in the summer time, it will be pretty HOT to be playing soccer. Maybe the Qatar World Cup committee is going to have an open air-conditioned stadium. They have enough oil money to figure out how to do it..........Here is hoping that the hype will die down a bit so that I can get my dinner check in less than twenty minutes.
