Tbh now that we're a year out there's a regular enough stream of terrible Qatar news independent of wider FIFA corruption to warrant its own thread and the amount of poo poo is only going to increase as we get closer to the tournament. I don't want to put down a blanket 'this is a sports forum so only post about sports and never anything political that's directly connected to it. Shut up and just kick ball' rule and world cups usually attract lots of posters from the wider forums so feel like a general Qatar Qontainment zone would be the best way of organising it. I am too lazy to make an op right now but if an enterprising young posting prospect wants to have a go you get a gold star

Infantino has addressed all our concerns that the biennial World Cup would just be to make more money by informing us that actually the biennial World Cup would be good because it would make more money.

That's literally the sell though. The extra kickbacks to the poo poo hole countries that make up majority blocks in the confederations that will still never qualify. He knows that every "power" can reject it and still be forced to play in it when they get outvoted.

There's no good guys in football. A lot of the opposition to two year wc cycle are the ones who want either the "UEFA plus Brazil and Argentina" nations league every 2 years, or the "Copa America every break, including US and Mexico." (there's been 4 copa america in 6 years).

Didn't some UK broadcaster miss a goal when they tried to cram advertisements in during a stoppage in play? I swear I remember this happening but I can't find anything.

The kids were amped to hear the 4000 or so people in crowd cheering for them. They should do that at the world cup final for half time Peanut President fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Dec 31, 2021 |

They get some u11 or u12 teams from the area out to play a mini game for ten minutes at half time.

It's also a thing at all AFL games. They use plastic cones to set up all around the edge of the ground and teams of local kids play against each other during half time. It is seldom not a good time for all.
