It was announced today that Qatar will host the 2022 world cup. Not only will they be the first ever Middle Eastern nation to host the games, but the country is the smallest ever to play host. At only 1.7 million people, Qatar's population is less than that of Nebraska, and only 3 times that of the least populated US state , Wyoming. To make this even more shocking, Qatar's national team has never even qualified to play in the history of the World Cup. So, why you ask were they selected to host the 2022 games? See for yourself:

FIFA's current guiding principles in determining host countries for the WC Finals have become readily apparent in their choices for the past two and the next two tournaments. Whether those principles are misguided, and whether they are having a net positive long term effect, are topics for a really interesting debate. I hope to initiate that discussion in this forum sometime soon.
