Listen to the text "World Cup City".

Paul and Todd talk about what places are worthy of hosting the World Cup.

Write the phrases that you will hear.

1. Paul: So Todd, we're talking about     there was the World Cup bidding process that occurred and the English campaign lost to the Russians and the American campaign lost to Qatar. How do you feel about that?

2. Todd: So that might be good. But actually to be honest what really surprised me was that Australia didn't get it. I thought Australia was the best choice. I thought Australia was a better choice than the US and Qatar. They've never had it in that region before, they have all the stadiums recently built for the Olympics in two thousand. They love football or soccer, they are always     in the World Cup, a very festive atmosphere, very multi-cultural like the US, so I thought they were the perfect candidate but they came in third. I think they were voted out first, I don't even remember.

3. Todd: Yeah, I agree. Although, on the other hand, I think most of the world doesn't know very much about Qatar and we can look at what China recently did in the Olympics, there was a lot of skepticism about how they would     and they did a phenomenal job. So I guess everybody just has to keep an open mind and hope for yet another great World Cup.
