It was being listed for an obscene amount. Love this 😂🤣 It's always the bent ref/dodgy foreigners fault !!! Wonder how much that Russian linesman cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30462 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 It makes a change to see a country actually stand up to Fifa rather than let them turn the stadium and the area around it into a Fifa-run independent state in effect. It also serves them right for allowing them to hold the tournament 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 4895 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Aye, feel sorry for the fans over there that fancied a beer before KO but this is all FIFAs fault. I hope Budweiser screw them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 6191 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Imagine being so filthy rich that you want to buy hosting rights to the biggest sporting event in the world, not so you can improve the international perception of your country, not for the betterment of your country, not for the people of your region (because you're routinely in disputes with them including several active ones), not to leave a legacy for future generations (because the additional infrastructure is almost exclusively temporary or semi-temporary), not even because you're enamoured with the sport or to honour the tradition of the sport in your country (you've never qualified for the World Cup and your immediate neighbour, with whom you're in a lengthy dispute with, holds the upper hand over you despite having roughly half your population.... but don't fear - your team has remarkably improved in very recent years, wholly unrelated to the fact that near half of your players aren't from Qatar).... but rather so that you can have some sort of smug satisfaction about forcing people to live according to your rules and about the mere fact that you were actually able to buy it. What a time to be alive. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30462 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 The Budweiser thing is an embarrassing and probably very costly incident for Fifa of course. But a far bigger thing was Qatar reneging on their (ridiculous) promise to hold the tournament in the summer. That in itself should’ve been enough not to have it there 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bid was based on it and awarded with on the premise of it. T&C's weren't met. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surreymag 71 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 It’s all rather shit and doesn’t seem real. How bad is Maddison’s injury. I doubt whether he would get much game time anyway too much flare for this England team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt whether he would get much game time anyway too much flare for this England team. The England team are pretty tolerant of various pants, but apparently draw the line at flares. Fun fact: It's not the width of the pant that is a concern but rather the exponential nature of their widening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, in terms of perception / PR you’d think the damage is already done. And the financial outlay would be minuscule in the scheme of things. Following on from OTF’s earlier post this is just them being cunts (again) for the sake of it. Also possibly their payback for the story being leaked Edited November 18, 2022 by Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
