Everything else? No
Egypt, Malaysia, Turkey, Indonesia, Morocco and Tunisia beg to differ.

Pussy? Yes.

Tbh, I'd love to see a joint North African bid (Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia). I'd also include Egypt, but it's about a 6 hour flight from Cairo to Rabat, so logistically that might pose problems.

Great Culture? Check.
Awesome Food? Check.
Passionate Footballing Nations? Check.

Qatar has no culture or footballing history, and it's a tiny piece of shit, but you'd have none of these "issues" or "problems" with a joint North African bid.

players falling like flies. what a brilliant idea to make them play 50+ matches per season in first place, then also to schedule the world cup so that it fully coincides with the regular season


there is no way it's not gonna be the shittiest world cup since i follow football (mid '80s)

I dunno. I have to think about the ethos of the Olympic Games here: how sport can open international doors that politics alone cannot.

How can you be a World Cup and yet never set foot in MENA, you know?

Sure, how they won the hosting bid was corrupt. And tons of brown people died building it for their elites. And they aren't jiving with de gays let alone alcohol in the stadiums.

But come on, bruh. You cannot assume there is only one set of global rules for everybody. And those who do are arrogant, self-centered pr*cks, really. This isn't a descent into moral relativism, but maybe a society that doesn't appreciate dudes in Speedos groping each other in the streets isn't such a horror show after all. I'm even uncomfortable with good-looking heteros doing that at concerts.

Embracing diversity means just that. Not just imposing monolithic values over every culture on the planet.
best post i read on Tuz in a while. Vouch

That's an interesting idea. It's a 6 hour flight from Los Angeles to New York too and that works out fine.

Why? Don’t you get thrown in jail for losing a piece of chewing gum?

Is that all time, or current roster? I don't understand without context.
If we had 26 current World Cup winners on our squad, it would be amazing because certain posters would still blame them for our horrible football instead of the coach.
