In Friday's paper, the big story in the Sports Section was the US losing the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bids to Russia and Qatar. The US was very disappointed to lose the bid to these countries after they felt they made a good case. Yes, it could have been very good for our country, but Americans are not as passionate about soccer as many other countries. In Europe, the people are so passionate about soccer and pour their hearts into every game. The atmosphere in those countries would be better than the Americans. I'm not sure about the bid for Qatar and feel that it could have been better in a more western Europe country. On the other hand, having the World Cup in the US could have given the sport the proper publicity and gotten more people interested in the sport.
Thursday night, Lebron made his awaited return to Cleveland after disappointing fans all around Ohio a couple of months ago. James strutted onto the court like he still owned the place and that the booing fans did not even phase him. He even did his ritual chalk toss in front of Cleveland fans. In post game interviews, he praised his new team and boasted about his teammates. Fans were still very angry about James' departure and a fight even broke out in the crowd over someone holding a James jersey. It is clear that Cleveland is still bitter about James' unexpected exit.
