loving awesome that a day after the whole thing with suspicions of match fixing with Ecuador, FIFA also announced today that they will not share the audio from VAR decisions with the press or the public.

lol this guy ownsquote:The executive director of Football Supporters Europe, Ronan Evain, said: “Who would have thought that an authoritarian regime with an appalling workers’ rights record was not to be trusted? I suppose that’s what you get for accepting to be paid the equivalent of a Qatari monthly minimum wage every four days for the pleasure of doing absolutely nothing.”

I'd think they might be having doubts about the ROI they can expect from this tournament, but that should be chump change at this point. Increasingly seems like they're only one big sulk away from taking all the balls and going home.

Just cancel the World Cup and do it in Europe next summer. This will be a nice winter break for the players, and those injured will have time to recover. It’s totally doable and not unreasonable.

They've spent like $200B on this tournament, something like 10x the previous most expensive World Cup. The economic ROI was never there, and so far they're throwing away every last bit of sportswashing ROI by failing to maintain even a facade of progress on anything except advancing the interests of the state of Qatar. On that note, one of the few new bits of information I saw in that Netflix FIFA documentary was about just how many trade deals and arms contracts and so on Qatar was signing with various countries using the World Cup as a bridge.

Yeah, that's what I mean. It's an absolutely trivial amount of money compared to their overall spend so it just looks spiteful. The tournament hasn't even started and they savage the positivity team because they've not made the world love them already.
