Qatar (/ˈkæˌtɑːr/,i/ˈkɑːtɑːr/, /ˈkɑːtər/ or
i/kəˈtɑːr/;Arabic: قطر Qaṭar [ˈqɑtˤɑr]; local vernacular pronunciation: [ɡɪtˤɑr]), officially the State of Qatar (Arabic: دولة قطر Dawlat Qaṭar), is a sovereign country located in Southwest Asia, occupying the small Qatar Peninsula on the northeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. Its sole land border is with Saudi Arabia to the south, with the rest of its territory surrounded by the Persian Gulf. A strait in the Persian Gulf separates Qatar from the nearby island of Bahrain, as well as sharing sea borders with the United Arab Emirates and Iran.
Following Ottoman rule, Qatar became a British protectorate in the early 20th century until gaining independence in 1971. Qatar has been ruled by the Al Thani family since the mid-19th century. Qatar is a hereditary constitutional monarchy and its head of state is Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. The constitution was overwhelmingly approved in a constitutional referendum, with almost 98% in favour. In 2013, Qatar's total population was 1.8 million: 278,000 Qatari citizens and 1.5 million expatriates. After Saudi Arabia and Oman, Qatar is the most conservative society in the Gulf Cooperation Council.
Qatar is a country in the Middle East.

The 2011 AFC Asian Cup finals were held in Qatar on 7–29 January 2011. It was the fifteenth time the tournament has been held, and the second time it has been hosted by Qatar, the other being the 1988 AFC Asian Cup. Japan won the cup after a 1–0 win against Australia, and earned the right to compete in the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil as the representative from AFC.
A television viewing audience of 484 million in 80 countries across the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, North America and North Africa witnessed Japan defeat Australia 1–0 in the final.
Qatar, India and Iran all lodged interest in hosting the 2011 AFC Asian Cup, while Australia also considered making a late bid. Qatar officially submitted their bid on 19 June 2006, while India withdrew their interest and Iran failed to submit proper documentation for their bid on time.
Qatar was announced as host nation on 29 July 2007, during the 2007 AFC Asian Cup in Jakarta, Indonesia. Due to FIFA regulations stating that confederation events can be hosted either in January or July, and July being peak summer heat in the Middle East, it was also announced that the tournament would be held in January of that year.

Out on the towns (town)
Me and all of my friends
Sign up g-town I couldn't be any cooler
Destination no where (no where)
Feel like a billionaire
We want you have to come,and ruin my parade
She looks so happy not to long ago
It use to be me that made her shine like gold
Now obey the crowd and she'll never know
How much your missing her everyday
When I see you walk by,with that other guy
I hide my tears and I let my guitar cry
I just wanna shout,gotta let it all out
She played my heart strings like a guitar cry
This is for everyone whose heart is breakin
Turn it up so loud you can't take it
Everyone whose heart is breakin
Here's my last song for your goodbye,guitar cry
So cute I had to flirt,her MJ t-shirt
Moon walked into my life,couldn't be any smoother
We were the perfect pair,like I'ma need your hair
So long for getting back together again
Cause she looks so happy not to long ago
It use to be me that made her shine like gold
Now obey the crowd that she'll never know
How much your missing her everyday
When I see you walk by,with that other guy
I hide my tears and I let my guitar cry
I just wanna shout gotta let it all out
She played my heart strings like a guitar cry
This is for everyone who's heart is breakin
Turn it up so loud you can't take it
Everyone who's heart is breakin
Here's my last song for your goodbye,guitar cry
All of those countless letters and love songs
We're down to the last one
No way,I won't let her see all of the pain in my eyes
When I see you walk by,with that other guy
I hide my tears and I let my guitar cry
I just wanna shout gotta let it all out
She played my heart strings like a guitar cry
This is for everyone whose heart is breakin
Turn it up so loud you can't take it
Everyone whose heart is breakin
