From hosting the world’s biggest football event in Qatar to signing the biggest football star, Arab is truly stealing the show!

The world cup move that Qatar pulled off, the things you see in Dubai, this Cristiano Ronaldo signing; these Arabs know how to pull off grand things. They really do. It's not just money that talks, it is often vision too.
