...Qatar

Qatar won the the bid to host the 2022 World Cup. People were surprised and outraged that this little country won the right to host this prestigious game that is seen by billions around the world. This country roughly the size of Connecticut faces temperates at around 106 degrees in the Summer, but have been known to reach up to 120 degrees. Even during the cool months the temperature is about 71 degrees, YIKES! hey did promise to build nine new stadiums with air conditioning, but they are adding something else to that, they are planning to build "artificial clouds". Not white fluffy clouds like yo see in nature, but clouds that look like something from a movie that no one would ever think would come true. Thy pretty much look like a white smart phone with the screen facing down. They will only cost about $500,000 to make, which is literally pocket change for Qatar. If these clouds are made and work, that would be cool. I am sure many people out there will be in awe of them, and I would not blame them. What I will be waiting for is the first failure. Can you imagine having the world's greatest soccer or football players on the field and having one of these "clouds" crash on the field hurting or even killing these multi-million dollar investments? The international outrage and scandal would live on for decades. This is how wars, between less civilized countries, are started. The thousands of fans and spectators are at risk as well, of course. These things do not seem safe, though they have not been made yet. But I am going to have to give Qatar a Digit Down still.
