Talked to my boss today. He laughed as if he wasn't understanding what i was saying "World cup, huh? What's that?"
Fucking Americans
I told him he had two choices, either i'd come in at the usual time but when Brazil is playing don't expect me to do much or i'd just come in late after the match.

I am, i saw him at his peak and he is by far the best Italian player of the last 35 years, but i'd still choose at least 3 to 5 Brazilians over him. And probably 2 or 3 Argentines as well. Just saying

You've no idea how much i'm dying of laughter by reading some of the Brazilian news. It's the funniest WC yet BY FAR and it hasn't even started.
To tell you a few... There was a pitch invasion at Argentina's training today and one guy was a Ronaldinho impersonator, it cracked the whole team up, Messi was dying
Another one... There's this Talk show host guy who's married to this famous actress and they were minding their own business at Ipanema beach, when he sees a tourist getting robbed and decided to intervene.
Well, he was drinking his coconut water and threw the actual coconut at the robber, it in fact hit the guy in the head and made him fall. Authorities showed right afterwards and arrested the guy. So people are calling this guy now the hero of the World Cup.

Again, Brazil and Russia aren't exactly the epitome of human rights. Brazil is one of the worst places in the world when it comes to criminal activity and the country itself has broken its promises regarding preparations for the World Cup. Russia has been the biggest ally of Bashar El Assad in Syria who has killed and displaced millions of people. Give me slave labour (thats an actual insult to the slave labour of the old days) any day of the week. Plus, more people have died on Brazilian stadium sites than they ever will in Qatar. If the moral high ground is what determines where a WC should be hosted then most of the world's countries should never be allowed to host.
Football pedigree is also irrelevant. South Africa and South Korea both lack football pedigree and the same can be said about poland, russia and the Ukraine but to a lesser extent.
Finally, racism exists... whether it is tied to this particular case is another story and neither of us can ever tell for certain but that doesnt mean that ever time anyone claims that racism has something to do with a problem then it should be automatically dismissed as self victimizing. As an Arab I've experienced it almost everywhere I went outside of the Arab world.
Politics and moral discussions should be separated from football. Security and the ability to service an influx of tourists and to build proper stadiums is what matters. The players should adapt to the heat, the stadiums in Qatar are planned to be air conditioned anyway. The case for Qatar is at worst as bad as the one for Brazil or Russia.

stretch after stretch after stretch, but i like your last paragraph about technicalities, soon enough the results of the investigation will determine that qatar bribed and cheated its way into being granted the right to host the WC, in which case they would at the very least have the WC hosting rights stripped and hopefully banned from international football for the next 100 years.
