Day at Al Jazeera Offers Insight into Vulnerabilities of US World Cup Bid

Filed under: , ,

WASHINGTON, DC -- While the sports world was focusing on Zurich throughout Wednesday, I was bouncing between Switzerland's largest city, Doha and Washington, DC, doing a little soccer espionage en route.

I spent the day in a television studio as part of Al Jazeera's coverage of the buildup to the Thursday votes that will determine the hosts of the 2018 and 2022 World Cup tournaments.

It was an intriguing assignment. I was there to answer questions and comment on (and even defend) my own nation's worthiness to host the '22 World Cup on a network based in the country that's emerged as the most significant rival.
