Anybody not going to Qatar in 2022? I'm not.

I wouldn't advise anybody to go there.

Completely laughable.

Did you go to Germany or South Africa? People who want to go will go.

ROFL FIFA at it again.

Qatar? Are you fucking kidding me. Absolutely disgraceful, typical dirty corrupt bullshit from FIFA.

Money talks.

 

[Bjerknes]

Did you expect anything else?

Not really. It's all about politics with FIFA, nothing else. It's not football. And it is not about the fans.

 

[Nicholas]

Since when have Russia and Qatar been bothered about football?

Russia should not even been considered for 2018 but because of corruption is is.

 

[JuveJay]

their stadiums will be pretty damn cool.

They'll need to be, in the middle of the fricking desert.

 

[Nicholas]

Not really. It's all about politics with FIFA, nothing else. It's not football. And it is not about the fans.

Exactly.

Honestly a scandle, that's what money buys you though.

 

[Alex-444]

Thanks Putin even stadiums will be built

I'm saving up to head to Brazil.

Not too many Europeans like the Arab world, so I'm thinking this Cup will be a disaster.

 

[Nicholas]

Can you drink in Qatar?

Russia I can possibly understand as they have some potential there, even if it's only about money.

To follow it with Qatar and another billionaire boys club move is pretty astonishing really, FIFA just continue to remove themselves from the reality of football, which is the fans. Qatar has no potential to do anything in the future, but I'm sure they will host a good tournament as far as technology and the football is concerned.

 

[K.O.]

Qatar totally deserved it

 

[Suns]

Why are people annoyed and what makes a country better than the other? As long as its good stadiums and people show up to fill those stadiums I have no problems in it ending up in Russia and Qatar.

 

[Nicholas]

How safe is Russia these days?

If Europeans don't like the Arab world then fine, they don't have to go there, other people will show up anyway.

 

[Nicholas]

Will they?

The Stadiums will be half empty.

 

[Bjerknes]

Can you drink in Qatar?

I heard you can, but the only places where you can is at five star hotels.

I don't know if they have two star hotels there, but even if I did, I wouldn't want to stay in one of those. The five stars are probably rather expensive... too expensive for most people around the globe.

So this will be the rich boy's World Cup.

A lot can happen until then. I understand some people's frustrations, but whether drinking in public is allowed or not in Qatar is unrelated altogether. Your culture is yours, theirs is theirs. They will pump in a lot of money, their bid was impressive, the weather might kill some players and their no drinking rule might frustrate millions, but if you don't like it then don't go - but in the end just because FIFA doesn't make it about the game doesn't mean we should too. I am sure there are a LOT of real passionate football fans in Russia and Qatar and their surrounding countries, so congratulations to them. It's a dream to have the world cup hosted in your country.

Those Europeans who don't like the Arab world can go fuck themselves. World Cup and football are not for fucking racists.

 

[Suns]

Will they?

The Stadiums will be half empty.

Are you serious? The stadiums will never be empty and rich Arabs from all over the gulf will fill those stadiums up.

 

[Bjerknes]

If Europeans don't like the Arab world then fine, they don't have to go there, other people will show up anyway.

If you don't have Europeans going to the World Cup, then it's a failed World Cup.
