    Are they building indoor stadiums in Qatar or are these poor guys expected to play in desert conditions?

    No, sounds like they are thinking about having it in the winter, which will screw up all the European leagues.

    Ya and if Qatar loses out, it comes to the states.

    Sounds like we have a legit shot at 2026. Some papers in the UK are already giving it to us. I would prefer 2026 for selfish reasons if so.

    Yep, that whole Qatar thing is the biggest fucking joke. I was checking the weather in Qatar the other day and the high temp average around this time is 115-120 degrees. No way they can do this during the summer.

    I hope that whole investigation they are doing shows how corrupt this whole thing was and they take the WC away and give it to a more deserving country.

    Yeah, that 2nd half vs. Chile was really bad. Looked pretty solid yesterday. The goal from the corner by Bradley was unreal....love that guy.

    Not to mention it was Chile's D team against more or less a similar team to our world cup squad. Really hate how many players we have in the MLS. Don't think we are going to be any good until we have more players overseas. Yedlin has a long ways to go, but getting burn for Tottenham will be huge.

    Yeah, all these guys coming to MLS is not good. I know Jurgen hates it. I get it for an older guy like Dempsey who is getting near the end of his career, but I really can't see any positives for guys like Bradley and Altidore to be playing MLS at this point in their careers.

    I don't think so. But I think we should start one for MLS and USMNT talk....
