Political I don't know.. Economic yes.

No, it's not. And to deny it and say that it was given to Qatar solely because they had the best bid is plain idiocy.

Capocannoniere.

Yes, but I actually think it would be better that way for a lot of European countries anyway. I know football is considered a winter sport in this part of the world, but especially for amateurs a lot of games are postponed because of the awful weather conditions. Make it a summer sport and the...

The beginning is brilliant: "You know, some things... get to me.. more than others"

Yes. Every single one.

He's pretty funny :D. I mean.. he honestly doesn't get it. And a lot of his objections are true. But I don't understand his conclusion. Why does it mean we all hate America?

It's normal for people who want to be victims.

Nations don't gain from blood diamond trade. And the nations who try to do most about it, are Western anyway. One of the most biased posts I have ever come across on this forum. All you do is shout that everything that is bad in the world is indirectly the West's fault. There are blood...

I agree. That this World Cup was below average had nothing to do with South Africa. Had we seen a couple of brilliant games, we would still be going on and on about how an African World Cup was marvellous. South Africa were not at fault at all here. The highlighted part makes me want to throw up.

Shocking though how no one on these forums seems to care about the blatant violations.

To be fair alcohol still is a drug and the side effects have long been proven harmful. If a country decides to ban alcohol that is just as much of a sensible law as banning cannabis. So even if one couldn't drink in Qatar during the World Cup (but like Ahmed says that isn't the case) it wouldn't...

I didn't highlight it as a valid reason and I never even said it was a valid question. Am I racist now? I even literally said the question bugged me.

I said "even if". But don't worry about that, you just read what you want to read.

Those are actually pretty good reasons. The question whether or not you can drink there really bugs me though. Even if you couldn't drink there during the World Cup, that should not be a problem.

True. I'm not bitter enough these days.

That you're Aaron's little bitch?

Italy is corrupt, but the level of corruption in Russia is something else, Fred.

Germany, England, Canada, Australia. The USA couldn't have it because of several reasons IMO, but they are still a far better choice than Qatar.

When did I say the US deserved the World Cup?
