"I feel like I could go on a vacation to Antarctica, and somehow Bora would be there waiting for me with some penguins that he had coached up into a decent XI."
That place looks great Grant. I'm already envisioning empty pizza boxes (or, insert Qatari late-night food here) spread across the kitchen counter and table after a day of games and furious reporting by the crew. So glad I subscribed!
Enjoyed today's commentary. I'm just wondering where you might be staying in 3.5 years when you might be covering a World Cup game at Arrowhead Stadium! Won't that be wild??? I'm looking forward to reading more of your coverage. I hope you will enjoy each day while you're there - good luck!!
Grant, Your big question was who gets the master bedroom but what went through my head, especially since you called out the washer moments before, is “Did Grant remember to pack more than one pair of pants for this World Cup?” LOL.
It was no coincidence - it's the Qatar world cup app in your pocket, forgot it? Whatchama call it? The "location, location, location" app? The "hold my beer. No, seriously, if you want to handcuff me, you'll have to hold my beer" app? The "left swipe only tinder" app?
Enjoy Doha and Qatar - I look forward to reading your takes!
Day 1 in Doha

Classic.
Your place looks a bit nicer than the storage crates some fans are going to be staying in...

Now I want a movie about Bora coaching Antarctica’s first World Cup team. At least the Funny or Die trailer.
