{{Dia|Bloomberg|That's true, Spike. This is the first time it's ever being hosted in the [[Middle East]], and the second entirely in [[Asia]] after the [[2002 FIFA World Cup|2002]] tournament. Of course, [[Qatar]] are making their debut, and are actually the only team to do so this time. There are also plenty of returns. [[Canada]] hasn't been on [[football]]'s biggest stage since [[1986 FIFA World Cup|1986]], and [[Wales]] since [[1958 FIFA World Cup|1958]]... wow. That's 64 long years.}}

{{Dia|Bloomberg|Oh yeah. I forgot to mention that my friends from across [[The Wiki Camp 2]] have come along with me. It's a shame that Thomas can't watch the games with us. He's too big, and plus, there aren't any railways in Qatar outside of the new [[metro]]. I think he'll have a great time watching the live feed in [[Sodor]].}}
