WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says FIFA made the "wrong decision" in awarding the 2022 World Cup to Qatar over the United States.
The U.S. Soccer Federation spent millions of dollars on its bid. Former President Bill Clinton was highly involved in the process and participated in the closing presentation.

Right. Wake me up when Qatar is selected to host a Winter Olympics.
I wish he would stop trying to speak and identify with America. He does not have that right. He is not America’s friend, but her enemy.
.... and can’t stand not being the “king” of soccer games hahahahahahahahahaha you lose again obamanation... hahahaha
I imagine he thinks that anybody who disagrees with him on any topic is “wrong.”
FUBO.
Yes, there is such a clamor in this country for Pro Soccer.
Its bigger than the NFL.
And to think Barry sent the Attorney General Eric Holder over there to Zurich to represent the US govt and lobby for the World Cup, and to increase the black population in Switzerland by 50%

Ah well
when the going gets tough, the tough go skiing
Don't forget the mercury poisoned water from all of the CFL light bulbs and acid laced mountains of electric car batteries.
I can undersand The Imam being upset about not getting the Kick Ball Games, it’s a sissy game.
What an ungracious thing to say. Our president could use some lessons in manners, he’s no gentleman.
He has a comment about this garbage, buy he cannot force himself to have ANYTHING to say about treason.
What a dope.
They should have told Obama’s aides that he really should attend, then when Obama attended, award it to Qatar, and have everyone point at Obama and laugh.
All we needed was a pesuasive spokesperson like Morgan Freeman!
He spends all his time telling the world how terrible the USA is.. how we exploit, we are racists, etc.... then he wonders why they do not want to have them here? STUDIP
We’re not having the World Cup in the U.S. ????
Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark that on the list of Obama’s accomplishments.
Between that and the Chicago Olympics, America has been saved a nightmare or two.
>and why should we care about an essentially third-world-euro >game? not to mention that it’s exceedingly boring...
Amen to that.
I work near LP field , which would have been one of the venues for the game. That would have been a nightmare getting to work.
Quigg moment.
