Now this tournament has truely been inclusive. It has finally genuinly brought multicultuaralism to the table. A long time coming but an arab nation has finally gotten the honour to host the World Cup in twelve years time. Why celebrate from now? Well, if you live outside North America, it is the most prestigious tournament on the face of the earth. Being a host, means having the limelights on your country for a whole month. Not to mention the spot light you are under in the six months prior to that date. Not only is this a publicity victory, but a financial one too. As this is a very lucrative business hoarding millions of dollars from the sale of tickets, sports memorobilia, and other sponsor products and events.
Congradulations Qatar, you have finally managed to break the entire arab world from the tent inhabiting, camel riding stereotype that has kept the entire arab nation hostage, except for a few. Coming from an oil rich gulf country, I’m pretty sure that they will not leave a single penny unspent for the sake of putting the world in awe. Yes, I’m pretty sure there will be a spectacular show twelve years from now. Whether you are a football/soccer fan or not, I think this is a tournament worth having front and center seats for.
