Qatar World Cup: over 900 workers died already, could be as high as 4000 by kick off

RE: Qatar World Cup: over 900 workers died already, could be as high as 4000 by kick off
Geez, this thing was one of the top stories this morning on Good Morning America!

Frankly, I know I'm probably the resident American soccer fan here (my avatar is an MLS expansion side for 2018), but FIFA has always seemed so detached from me. I've never bothered with following what goes on in Lausanne (it is Lausanne, right? RIGHT?). I assumed it was all so dry.

Not so much now. I guess the USA was runner up to Qatar for '22.
