Sports Official FIFA World Cup Qatar Thread

[Shawn1112]

Not a soccer fan at all, but I plan on going in 4yrs when its in Monterry Mexico. My guys have sent me videos from games in Monterry, and it looks like a fucking blast

This whole thing is fucky with Qatar. They openly bribed FIFA officials, told them they would have hovering air conditioners to make the games playable at the usual time, realized that wasn’t possible so then had to get the World Cup moved to November. Thousands of migrant workers have died building the facility, FIFA was going to yellow card teams for wearing “love” arm bands, another team was forced to remove the tags from the INSIDE of their jerseys because it said something about love on it. I follow Breaking Points on YouTube and they recently did a few segments on this. It wasn’t slanderous at all and FIFA pulled some strings to have it struck from YouTube.

I read approx 6,500 migrant workers have died working on this.

Have to think, how in the Hell does that happen?

Worked them to death.

I am not positive but I think that 6500 number was reported awhile ago, who knows what it is now.

I actually read a big story on that Thursday night. Supposedly they built a village for the fans out of shipping containers. But failed to install toilets or running water lol. The whole thing has been a cluster fuck.

Build or leverage the same stadium every World Cup and call it a day.

Same with the Olympics

People make this way too “hard”, granted “greed” is involved.

Can you imagine being a huge soccer fan, paying god knows what for airfare, booking hotels with your buddies, and then getting to the middle of allah alllah Muhammadville and finding out you can’t even have a beer? I’m surprised they haven’t had riots.

Again, find a place that caters to all, then build a stadium and use the Hell out of it for the World Cup and other events (i.e., maintain it).

Just stupid

FIFA presidents got paid though. One of them made a stupid inclusive statement, buy the merch, watch the games and shut up.

 

[GLADIATOR]

FIFA is more corrupt than the Catholic Church. Also, fuck Messi.

Floating stadium that travels around the world would be cool.

Saw that, was something like 30 months

Ah so they’re doing the same with soccer that they’ve done with golf. “Oh hey look at these cool sports events we put on, pay no attention to all the human rights atrocities and genocide we commit”.
