We have excellent facilities, we would say these are the best facilities in the world.

To get to the top in the world, there is much more than just being the best in Qatar.

The sporting history in the Middle East is not that excellent. The royal family is a big supporter of sports. They wanted to have champions made in Qatar, not just to buy them.

Of course we will take Oliver Kahn to the World Cup. There was never any intention to leave him behind.

We sat in the car
& the night dropped
down until the
only sounds were
the crickets &
the dance of our voices

& for a moment
the world became
small enough to
roll back & forth
between us.

One day, I decided to help wherever I could & it was almost like magic, because I was exactly what the world needed everywhere I went.
