Moments after FIFA announced Qatar would host the 2022 Word Cup, Fox News Latino contacted me about writing a column. I was more than happy to contribute a piece.
I was able to jump on the conference call with U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati, and the quotes added another dimension to the piece. (Fortunately, I happened to have the conference call information on hand from being on the Go USA Bid media release list.)
For the piece, I decided to focus on what it was that people really wanted to know. The column, as I summed it when I tweeted the link, answers the burning questions: Why Qatar? Where’s Qatar?

This column was also significant as it marks my transition from a freelancer to an official “regular contributor.”
