Grant, honestly it gives me peace of mind to actually see that the USMNT and USSF are truly invested in holding their vendors, accommodations, etc accountable for their migrant workers while in Qatar. Very good to see that they logged a complaint with Kempinski about the subcontractor and had that subcontractor removed from the hotel.

Why did FIFA agree to award Qatar the Cup in the first place? Sure it is nice to try and hold Qatar accountable now, but if social and cultural issues aren't fully considered BEFORE a host is selected, this will be a continuing problem. If it was due to internal corruption, has that been expunged? If not, this will be a continuing problem. Will the USA be able to pass future suitability tests? Or, are we setting ourselves up for national embarrassment in 2026?
