DUDE. THIS IS MIKE AND SPIKE COMING TO YOU LIVE FROM QATAR. WE'RE ABOUT TO GIVE YOU LIVE UPDATES ON THE 2022 FIFA WORLD CUP.
Michael 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 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, and Wales since 1958... wow. That's 64 long years.
Spike
ABSOLUTELY, MAN. LET'S SEE HOW THIS TOURNAMENT GOES.
Match
OMG. Like, I'm not that sportspilled, but, like, everywhere I go, I'm seeing, like, celebrations all over the place.
Pencil
Maybe football really is a beautiful game.
Michael 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.

DUDE. THE WORLD CUP IS UNDERWAY.
That was a spectacular opening ceremony. Morgan Freeman, the Quran, La'eeb and the other mascots... Heck, even Jungkook from BTS sang his hit "Dreamers".
OMG, I'm, like, still speechless.
But now, we're focusing on the first game of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Valencia's been a key player during the game so far. Two goals within 15 minutes... Had that goal not been disallowed, he would've scored a hat trick!
TRUE.

Eh. Most of us aren't really rooting for Qatar anyways.

AND ECUADOR TAKES HOME THE W. IT'S BEEN A FUN FIRST GAME, MAN.
Well said, Spike. There's lots more to see, but right now, let's savour the moment and appreciate Enner Valencia's skills. There's plenty of jubilation in Quito and Guayaquil right now.
