The anti gay laws to be honest I don’t think oriole can really complain as it’s hypocrisy but slave labour and the overall corruption to get it is another matter

I wonder what the viewing figures will be for this world Cup compared to previous ones.
It's the only one that I have not been looking forward to.
The whole thing is just a pile of shit as far as I'm concerned.

Wow, if the visiting fans are that excited then the Qataris themselves must be all over it!

Saying "today I feel like a migrant worker" when you're paid over $250,000 a month really is incredible.

England and Wales plan to defy Fifa with OneLove armbands at World Cup

Harry Kane and Gareth Bale are expected to still wear armbands in support of LGBTQ+ rights after Fifa announced its own slogans
www.theguardian.com

Good stuff.
If FIFA actually fine them for it then it'll say a lot about it.

Been a good trip so far. Only bad bit was check in and the food outlets at Heathrow. Apartment is bang on just like you said and reasonably priced too. We were going to hire a car but it’s pointless as the Ubers are so cheap. Costing about a fiver for 20-30 mins drive. All buses and metros are free too. Restaurants are the same cost as at home and the supermarkets work out about the same over a big shop. I wouldn’t say the country is 100% prepared (only had 12 years!) but the people are very friendly and welcoming.

With regards to the camps they had them at previous tournaments that were far worse than that. Must be said though they were a fair bit cheaper though!

It’s staggering that someone in his position thinks it’s a good idea to say these things. He’s a clown and no better than who was there before.

i just hope that if england only win 1 world cup in my lifetime, then it is not this one
A sham of a tournament, in a sham of a country with very little interest, and distrupting the football season in the middle of winter
I just hope that by the time the next world cup comes around, that excitement will be rekindled, and they haven't killed it for good

I'm not normally a fan of parallel completions or renegade counter disruption to the order of things but surely there must be a danger of something cropping up at some point

First major tournament that England have qualified for which I have zero interest in. Hope we lose every game so that fraud Southgate is gone.

I was wondering if a team might do a Romania and all come out with rainbow-coloured hair. I would.

For me it'd have the feel of our L1 winning season that got cancelled. I'd be dead pleased we won it, but it'd feel tainted.

I hate how loaded the term ‘migrant’ has become. In this context of course you are right.
But the old MD of the company I work for was a “migrant worker” and was on over £500k

Anyway. FOOTBALL

Love the Ecuador keeper going for it in the national anthem, knowing full well that he is about to throw the ball in the net for a dodgy Qatar winner.

'VAR check, didn't see that coming at all.'

Funny. Everyone else did. Fucking joke.
