Believed to be our biggest rival for 2022 some interesting comments from Mayne-Nicholls about their bid

“In case you will be awarded to host the event, we would also need a strong focus on international legacy, not only on a domestic one,” Mayne-Nicholls said in one of two atypically pointed remarks.

Noticeably absent was any mention of mass transit, a fact he quickly remedied. “Please let me add that there might be in a later stage additional needs for public transportation to cater to foreign fans,” he said without elaborating further.

Obama was also not able to find time in his schedule to meet and greet the FIFA delegation.

Only the Qatar visit to occur now this week, then we wait till December...

Says it all - the US just don't want the World Cup as much as we do.

I am pretty sure Obama is more concerned about his country and doing his job than meeting soccer officials, I hope Julia does the same

Hate to break it to you puddy but Julia met the inspection team along with Abbott during the election campaign, and also went to Zurich to personally promote our bid to Sepp Blater.
