The 2022 FIFA World Cup drew to a close on Sunday with a spectacular Argentinian victory over France’s Les Bleus in the final. Now that the 2022 run is over, the fans are welcoming Messi's win or Mbappe's loss one way or another.
Amidst the chaos, Pakistani Twitter hit gold when a user wondered if the country could ever host a World Cup.

Qatar's FIFA World Cup run was rather memorable to remember. There were beautiful stadiums, a seemingly infinite supply of volunteers, flawless security, free and efficient transport as well as accommodation that more than rose to the challenge of hosting the World Cup.
The Gulf nation of Qatar deserves credit for its organisation of football’s biggest tournament, and the way it welcomed more than a million fans – no mean feat for the smallest nation to ever host the competition. The wealthy state spent lavishly on buildings, hotels and transportation: $220 billion in all, twenty times more than Russia spent in 2018.
