[WC] World Cup 2022 - General Talk Thread (29 Viewers)

Lol. It's all relative though, when you go from training in what is almost English winter to that (30F jump). Unfortunately because of global warming players here are now aware of what training in 100F feels like. But I do think that the heat will be a distinct advantage for some teams.

Yeah, lets not do this hippy crap. Morality isn't relative and keeping women in be keeper suits, not letting them go out without male guarding isn't a new quirky fun thing either. Let's not play these stupid games.
There are hundreds, if not thousands dead while building these stadiums. There are thousands not paid for their work, which is just ridiculous, considering they are siting on a mountain of gold. Money certainly isn't an issue for them, in essence they are doing this just because they can.
Then they won't let the football fans drink a beer or have a premarital sex, threatening actual prison time.
Unless you are VIP guest. Then by all means- we will even provide beer to the VIP lounge for you.

Fuck FIFA and fuck them.
I for one will not be watching this shitfest (usually I watch all the games+ participate in virtual sticker games and fantasy football). If I won't be able to contain myself and have to watch a game or two- I will pirate it without any shame and I urge everyone to do the same.
I get that the fans want to see their teams and the players want to participate in what usually is a celebration of football. But these people (behing Quatar 2022) are terrible. If you want to watch it no one is stopping you, but these rationalizations are just sickening...

Only way Im gonna watch occasional game with my national team participating. Thousands of 'workers' dead, beating up and imprisoning gays isnt part of some cultural wars and differences that we can banter about. The hypocrisy which you pointed out about alchocol ban, its against our religion but if you are in VIP seat we will happily serve you. Ridiculous.

My cousin is a southern Italian person with red hair and freckles. Looked more Scottish than Italian.

Wait… did we suddenly just become related?!

I heard there are about 8 different sources that say Qatar bought their win against Ecuador and will pay them 7.2M

 

[Bjerknes]

84? It was 115 when Juve played played in Vegas this summer. I'm sure they'll survive.

Hopefully it’s hot as hell for them.

Maybe we’ll get lucky and it will be blatantly obvious. Hopefully an own goal or two to make the mockery complete.

Has a ref ever had to abandon the game due to obvious cheating?

 

[JuveJay]

Lmao

Can’t wait to see my Arabs Al Bakr-Bribey and Faisal Hassan-Nohumanrighties on the score sheet today

 

[Bjerknes]

I don’t know which set of fans is more hilarious.

This is painful to watch for so many reasons.

I don't want to ridicule the people involved too much on the off chance a couple of them might actually support a particular team. Like many on here support Italy without being Italian.

You don’t want to ridicule them but, you know, you just kinda have to.

It doesn’t help that these guys are probably paid.

Look to it from the bright side, first tournament where England fans arent hated by the whole world

The fact they're so interchangeable really dehumanizes the entire experience.

What a shitshow.

Funny enough these are probably the only real fans from the bunch that have been posted.

At first I was going to laugh, but then I looked closer and figured they actually might be Croat.

 

[Rockets]

Whether they truly support a foreign NT or are paid to do so, they just take "fake fanning" to another level. Compared to them, we missing Juve game are so adorable.

sh*t I just searched the Qatar WC theme song and wasted 4 minutes of my life.

Glad to see my contempt for K-pop was justified all along
