OT: World Cup 2022 (Human Rights Optional) - Let's Get Stoned!

What an absolute shitshow.

I guess we won’t see performances in the stands like this one this year.

f*** Qatar. What a shithole.

BYOB

Yeah, that should satisfy the England fans.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

FIFA deserves all of this.
I feel bad for the fans. Be safe for all those attending.

I thought these were Onion quotes at first...but apparently not

He’s taking that money.

This motherf***er ... do people understand how corrupt this c*** is? What a f***ing shambles.

Can't wait for Twitter to crash over all this

What are the chances that World War 3 is started by Beer sales being banned at the World Cup?

If anything, it is being averted by not letting the England fans near the booze in a politically delicate situation.

But it is physically impossible from stopping them and many others from getting drunk and belligerent. Then all it takes is a few thousand international fans getting the Britney Greiner treatment to bring tensions to the breaking point.

I'm going to need a ruling on where this falls on the "out with a leg" scale.

Isn't the whole purpose of a sportswashing event like this to raise Qatar's profile, to show the whole world "Eh, look! We aren't so bad after all, huh?"

I mean, they're doing a really, really bad job at it, aren't they? It's like they're putting a spotlight on everything that's wrong with this abomination of a World Cup. Total trainwreck.

I mean they have FIFA bowing down to them. That's really what it's all about.

They want people to bow down to them and show that their money can make anything a reality. Now they'll never admit any of that but it's what it comes down to. Having an event like this gives them legitimacy. It's quite similar to the Olympics in the 30's and recently the Olympics and WC in Russia.

Now in today's day in age the every day person can see through it for what it is but they're still going to try.

Yeah, now that you say it, I can see that. Makes sense through a geopolitical lens. To give them legitimacy on the world stage. I hadn't thought about that angle.

Out. Big blow for them but if anyone has the depth to overcome it, it’s them.

Soccer injuries are ridiculous.

Technically, it’s basically a gigantic pile of money that FIFA is bowing down to. Whatever is in possession of the gigantic pile of money is truly… truly irrelevant.

Missing their three most important players and are still probably one of the top 5 favourites to win the whole thing.

I'm going to call off work with a problem

France didnt even need Benzema last time to win , how loaded they are. Though he is playing better now than he was at that time. I didnt realize Kante and Pogba are out, though their Real Madrid Pairing in midfield can work.

Hoping for a 72-0 win for Ecuador today but I expect shenanigans.
