FIFA announced today that the 2018 and 2022 World Cups would be held in Russia and Qatar, respectively. Russia beat out England and collaborative hosting bids from Spain-Portugal and Holland-Belguim in today’s vote at the FIFA headquarters in Switzerland.
Qatar won the rights to host the 2022 tourney against the bids of the USA, South Korea, Japan, and Australia.
Being the biggest sports tournament in the world, the World Cup brings in millions of people and dollars worth of tourism. The FIFA World Cup has never been in Eastern Europe or the Middle East before, so these tournaments will be turning points in soccer history.
The big question is: what will the new vuvuzela be? My vote is for the cowbell or the melodica. That's only because the digurido is too big.
