I don't think anyone could see this coming

Probably reason 45,673 as to why Qatar was a bad idea, but....

quote:

Qatar has announced that it will not allow the consumption of alcohol in stadiums and in public during the 2022 World Cup


quote:

The United States and the United Kingdom are among those cautioning its fans against drinking at the World Cup, which will certainly rank among the stranger major tournaments in modern history.


quote:

Al-Thawadi said the country would adhere to its current policies regarding alcohol and allow those who wish to drink to still do so in “specific and faraway places from the public squares


Over/Under on number of hooligans arrested and beheaded?

WC 2022 really may be one of the dumbest and most inexplicable sports decisions of all time.

Just an absolute and complete failure on pretty much every level.

The level of theft/bribery involved in ANYTHING F.I.F.A. related, is simply mind boggling !
Didn't Qatar "donate" millions to the clinton foundation ?

at some point the safety of the fans needs to take higher priority than even their level of enjoyment. short of avoiding the region as a whole until it stabilizes(if that ever fricking happens), you'd have to at least award a host who will actively campaign on behalf of the people who will be traveling to the tournament, rather than enacting policy to "protect" their own citizens.



this whole thing is absolutely disgusting

FTR, I have been to Qatar and their night life is phenomenal.

You just go to the hotel bars and all the foreigners and exotic women are there and it's crazy.
