Country Nobody Can Pronounce Wins Metric Football Championship for 2022

All you metric football fans can make your plans to go to Qatar in 2022.  From CBS White House reporter Mark Knoller:

By choosing Qatar, we're finally going to have to learn to pronounce it correctly: Gutter? Cutter? Kuh-tar'?

The US was in the running for this one...until we sent Bill Clinton and Eric Holder over there to make the sale. It's the Chicago Olympics all over again.

And from Jim Geraghty:

Theory: FIFA prefers its bribes in stable currency, and thus was less interested in Euros and dollars.

Oh, and this is an interesting take from Garrett Quinn:

Imagine being an LGBT going to the World Cup in Qatar or Russia? Fun times! #fail

Russia got the nod for 2018.

And you can't get booze in Qatar either. That should make for some fun times.
