The vibes in Qatar seem off, crowds are relatively dead. Almost like vibes can’t be bought. Also doesn’t help that they don’t serve alcohol and have an oppressive “culture”
I also think people are hesitant to go. Because it's such a disgrace, but probably also because Qatar simply isn't that appealing.

Of course you want to watch a World Cup game in Rio. But paying thousands of dollars to watch a game in Doha?

Are you boycotting the World Cup?

Boycotting no. I'm watching the games. I'm not particularly enthusiastic about it though. I also feel like whoever wins it will be tied to this tournament forever and that seems less than ideal.

I thought you would based on your posts in the Del Piero thread.

I don't think people are going to associate this World Cup with Qatar's human rights issues once it's all done. People's attention spans are short.

Nobody is putting asterisks on Ronaldo's (the Luís Nazário de Lima kind) World Cup career because it was held in that fake football destination of Korea and Japan.

Just sayin'...

I swear I am so sick of every media outlet talking about this or that "making history" now, for history nobody remembers and doesn't care about a year from now.

curious: what do you base this on? western media reports? i have seen several videos on twitter of European fans having a good time over there and dont really seem to be bothered by the lack of alchohol in the stadiums. People adapt and after all: are there to watch football.

Also the vibes at the Saudi game was great, marocco today was loud af. They bring fans and crowds too

I could have went myself, but I had no desire whatsoever to go there. Glad I didn’t, seems like a total joke.
