I mean the Qatari national team is supposed to be okay by national team standards so I'm going to need better evidence than a tweet that misspells Ecuador

They have gone 5-0 in friendlies in October against teams like Nicaragua, Honduras, Panama and Albania. They are probably better than that level of teams, and probably won’t look hideous, but they presumably will end up,last in their group. I don’t believe a random tweet about Ecadourian insiders, but I don’t find it impossible they might try to fix a match.

Saudi-Arabia is among Asia’s best teams and can lose 0-5 to Russia for example, and Qatar is probably worse. They might fear that kind of result without anything to show for it in their slavery games.

Qat_ar's rainy season is coming soon. Some security guy is going to see an actual rainbow and start firing randomly into the sky

In theory there can be one or two days of rain per month, yes.


Shooting can continue until weather improves, nevertheless

Dunno how badly that would have gone, but if Morocco had gotten the world cup before, this might not have happened now. One more thing for Platini to answer for in a court he will never go to.

Coincidentally, the international ones are pretty much all based in Switzerland.

If the yardstick is "for an Arab country" it's still a tremendous embarrassment and waste of money. If that was the criteria give it to loving Egypt or Morocco (who has wanted it for decades).

I'm sorry, games were mostly good, great final, but gently caress Qatar.
