They are fucking corrupt cunts. Every single one of them. The only reason a backwards, ultra religious, boiling hot, human rights abusing desert like Qatar could get the World Cup is because they paid for it. Sportswashing at its finest.
See also… the FIA and the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

It's amazing how well dressed and brand new all those shirts/merchandising on fans are. I can tell you from Melbourne, Australia and sports events regularly in the 50,000-100,000 attendees that no crowd ever looks so manufactured and uniform. Real fans have all sorts of memorabilia and years of the club jerseys or hats etc. Fans over time create a diverse wardrobe in the crowd within even the same team. None of that is present in these staging events at all, not even a faded club shirt.

Not even the travel part seems to be working well. They have too little hotel capacity there. Pretty much a World Cup for the ultra rich that can afford paying for a private apartment or travel every day to a nearby country like Iran.

I think they are boycotting because of slave labor and the deaths of 2600 workers. Human rights issues?! That isn't 'views' or 'ideas' that is just what is right (unless you are ok with that)

Not one female there. No female football fans? Women not allowed there? (I know it's all setup.....if they wanted to be 'realistic' then put in some female fans. Right?)

lol, nah. we don't have to respect cultures that actively kill workers and others for football or any reason for that matter (and before you say I'm a hypocrite, I don't respect my own country's culture for the same reason).

Nobody deserves respect by default, especially not barbaric theocracy that has nothing for it but oil.
What culture are you talking about, that country was a desert 100 years ago.

Do we have a list of world leaders that decided to go and participate in this sham of an event? Curious to see if any Western nation had a lapse of judgement.

Please don't, France wants nothing to do with this even if the captain is an idiot:
World Cup 2022: France captain Lloris will not wear anti-discrimination armband
Hugo Lloris has said he will not join the captains of 10 other European nations in wearing the OneLove heart, saying he wants to 'show respect' to host nation Qatar.

Piss off clown
Respect cultures don't make us laugh
Qatar culture is:
State sponsored terrorist.
Safe havean for terrorists.
Mass employment of slave labour
Appalling treatment of humans thats led to deaths of thousands of workers.
State sponsored murder of foreign nationals
Women being second class citizens
It's a little tin pot shit hole in the desert that if it didn't have any oil would be more useless than out of date potato
.It doesn't deserve the world cup and deserves all the shit it's getting.

Well I read your president lobbied pretty hard for this world cup in qatar and after it was given to qatar they suddenly bought a shitton of fighter jets from france. He is now even saying to leave the politics out of the football. Convenient.Do we have a list of world leaders that decided to go and participate in this sham of an event? Curious to see if any Western nation had a lapse of judgement.

Macron says ‘sport shouldn’t be politicized’ ahead of controversial Qatar World Cup
Questions about would-be hosts should be addressed during the bidding process, French president says.

Coming from mister corruption himself, so take with a grain of salt:
Blatter regrets the choice of Qatar and hits back at Platini: Six months later, fighter planes were bought from France...
Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter has admitted that he regrets having allowed Qatar to host the World Cup. It is one of the many decisions that Blatter made at FIFA which led to

Yeah, I read that. Not to get too much into politics but the way the scene is set in France is rather flawed - if the far right-wing politician finds himself/herself in the second round of the presidential race they will have everyone from left and centre arguing to vote against them. That is how Macron has won first and second terms.

Qatar is gonna have a hell of a time trying to police millions of drunk tourists where harming even a single one could cause an international incident.

Why should I respect a homophobic, misogynist, terrorist supporting state?! Respect is earned, and Qatar will need to drag themselves into the 21st century if they want my respect.
These places like Qatar that still live in the past should be shunned from the rest of the world.

Qatar to ban beer at World Cup stadiums in dramatic reversal two days before tournament starts
The conservative, gas-rich Muslim nation does not fully ban alcohol for visitors, but its sale and consumption is strictly controlled.
