I came to Qatar to work at Georgetown University's campus in Doha, the capital city, in 2009, which was twelve years after the country's first liquefied-natural-gas plant came online, in 1997. I was there the day the news was announced that Qatar had won its World Cup bid.
But there were always questions about what the World Cup would actually look like in Qatar. The place is tiny and hot, for one thing (not a dry heat, either, contrary to popular belief)—a little thumb jutting off the Arabian Peninsula.
