The best stadium in the USA is in Dallas, TX so that's a pretty lovely plan

True but I wouldn't wish Indianapolis, Indiana on anyone traveling from another country.

If I remember correctly the Atlanta Olympics also had tons of little logistical poo poo go wrong during them as well. Also that was the one where the opening ceremonies had a number featuring cheerleaders and pickup trucks.

brazil didnt need to bribe anyone, its a massive country who absolutely love football, and they deserve to host it. russia has the infrastructure but a madman in charge and did deals with qatar so they could both win their bids. Qatar are not a footballing nation, okay fine, that we could all deal with, but so blatantly bribing everyone to get to host it, alongside its love of slavery, is not something anyone should be happy with.

I don't have a problem with Brazil hosting it, but I'm pretty sure when FIFA announced the 2014 World Cup would go to South America, Argentina didn't even make a bid and Colombia withdrew theirs so Brazil won by default.

I'm sure it was a completely legitimate process.

"Colombia's bid is more of a public relations presentation of the country to say that we are alive not only in other headlines but also in football"

Actually having qualified for a World Cup should be a requirement for hosting.

I always felt like this should be a requirement. And luckily it also keeps North Korea in the running for 2026.

My Costa Rican friend owes me $100 now that we know Eduardo Li paid for them to advance further than Team Jozy last summer. :argh:

I swear the voting music is the same music they put on when I tried acupuncture a month ago.

It has been an infinite amount of time since America promised us to fix corruption and they have nothing to show for it.

The more divisions of time go by the more I feel like America has failed us (and freedom) again. They didn't know what they were getting into and grossly underestimated Sepps power. Thanks Obama for another empty promise.

at least our country has an army.

Are those actually counterfeit? they look fairly real

It's been years since I was a bank teller but they fall like stiff one dollar bills would fall, yet they don't fly up in the air like uncirculated ones normally would. I think they're real which is funny because that's a lot of effort and/or practice just to get the bills oily enough to scatter like that. Who would want to pay to print and cut that many reasonably legitimate looking fake one dollar bills?

Did you often make it rain while working in a bank?

No, but I've watched people re-enact the ending of Kubrick's The Killing a few times.
