Russ has apparently decided to throw himself on the grenade tossed by Mark Brader, thus saving him and allowing Mark to continue on.
Russ, you are the weakest link. Good bye!

Well, apparently, I typo'd the year, and didn't realize it until now!

That's World Cup in 2022 which FIFA for very strange reasons has placed

in Qatar. The good thing is that the travel distances between the arenas
will be a lot shorter than in Russia, Brazil or the US. Or even Sweden
for that matter. The bad news is that it is very hot in Qatar in the
middle of summer, whence the idea of having it in winter time was floated.
My gut feeling is that FIFA will back out of this decision and put the
games in some more reasonable place, although they may have to oust
Blatter first. Since the games are kind of marked for Asia, the alternatives
might be Australia or China. (Actually, the federation that hasn't had the
game for the longest time, if we overlook Ocenaia, is Concacaf, but there
are really only two possible host countries, and in total Concacaf has
had the games three times.)
