Yeah, like the grocery stores will have a charcuterie section full of beef and turkey salami and chicken sausage and such.

EEKA GEEK posted:For as much time and money went into all this, they seem somehow... underprepared? They seem unprepared because they were, in fact, unprepared. This fan app that demands full control of your phone? Just a skin on their horrible in-house COVID app that worked the same way. All these luxury hotels? Built at the last minute - I was visiting family who lives in the same complex as the USMNT's resort hotel last May, and it wasn't finished yet. The roads? Just dropped into the desert. Qatar never actually reconciled with the reality of what hosting the World Cup meant. They honestly thought that hosting the Asian Games and the Diamond League was preparation enough.

Gigi Galli posted:The total opposite, isn’t it? Qatar and Iran are relatively much closer than Iran is to any other Gulf Sunni state, even if they're not best friends. One, they share control of a huge natural gas field in the Persian gulf, so basically both have to play nice to keep the money flowing, and two, Qatar sees a weaker Iran as leading to a stronger Saudi Arabia regionally, and prefers the two to be relatively balanced rather than be in a Saudi-dominated middle east. The reasons for *that* are all of religious, personal, political, and economic, but fundamentally, Qatar thinks it can become a Switzerland-type mediator and financial hub state in a multipolar region, which it can't do if either Saudi or Iran are the only major player.

Blasmeister posted:You have to beat them after they win it not before - that’s not how lines work! This post also made me curious if someone maintains a linear championship like they do in wrestling and the answer is yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unofficial_Football_World_Championships There's also apparently a club one which is currently bouncing between the first and second Hungarian leagues: https://www.stevesfootballstats.uk/unofficial_football_club_championship.html
