I’m glad Blatter is reconsidering his hasty decision to resign from FIFA. Snort.  
Seriously, some European Football association needs to announce the 2022 World Soccer Championship ™, and make inquiries about possible locations. Here’s the twist: _hold it in the summer at a locale with temperatures cooler than 100 degrees F_. I know: wild idea.

I respect FIFA’s decision to move the World Cup to the Winter. Snort2. I think they should go through with their 2022 Dubai plan, showcasing such powerhouse countries such as the Caymen Islands and New Guinna. Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy can play in the summer outside of the FIFA framework.
