We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

I've looked and there's hundreds of tickets for most of the group games at face value or close to it

Why bother with bribes when you can just create a 100% official FIFA twitter account and announce Qatar as the winners of every match North Korea style

Best part from the nytimes article

Beer and other drinks, including an official FIFA Champagne and an array of sommelier-selected wines, will still be available in stadium luxury suites reserved for FIFA officials and other wealthy guests.

"They've got us over a barrel lads".

First thing they can paint as a drunk incident at the fanzone and "for public safety" they'll probably ban it there too.

Is it possible to enjoy sports without booze? Yes, there is "banter" but they'll arrest you for that as soon as looking at you.

It's like it's illegal to be English these days.

I barely ever drink at games just cos I don't see the point in queuing for 15 minutes in order to quickly down a tepid pint of Heineken for £6.50, but the last minute prohibition would still massively contribute to the sense of being crushed by the iron fist of authoritarianism.

Should be flown over every stadium by drones until they're shot down by missiles bought from one or more of the nations playing in the tournament.

So we went from a carbon neutral World Cup with air conditioners floating above the stadium, to negate Qatar’s summer heat, to banning beer two days before festivities. What a great organization FIFA is.
