I thought the Garcia report concluded there was no evidence of bribery in the
Qatar bid. I just read that somewhere. I know there was. And even if an investigation were to prove that, would we ever hear about it?

The silver lining here is that this tournament will still be just 32 teams.

Expansion to 48 dilutes the product a little bit, but at least it'll guarantee the US makes it.

I like it. I love the World Cup and wouldn't mind it expanding just a little.

I mentioned the celebrations. And the USA has a reason to be triumphalist.

Nobody has good reasons to be triumphalist when up by so much against a clearly overmatched opponent.

Except you are the one that posted it to back up the "but we're winners" idea.

Not everyone has the pearl-clutching view. That was the point.

Thought the point was that the US are "winners". Which I agree by and large, but don't
