Qatar Hero - The World Cup 2022 thread

[bcubed]

16 of 22 FIFA voting people on the night where Qatar were awarded the WC have since been banned for life

lol

Have you watched Netflix FIFA corruption programme?

Wondering if it's worth it. But 4 hours seems a lot!

not seen it no. Being Netflix I am just surprised it isn't 12 x 1 hour episodes with a 2nd series on the way

Have watched it now
And it's pretty good. Plenty of stuff I didn't know. Or have forgotten.

And a reminder of just what a oxf*rd Blatter is. Smiling all the way through and absolutely no admission of any wrong doing let alone regret.

Also a little cameo from Shaka in the last two episodes

Benzema pulls out of his recovery training with an injury. Being assessed as to whether he will stay with France for the WC

ROFL this is hardest shill for Qatar I’ve ever read, from president of fifa

Infantino, who was born in Switzerland, said European nations should apologise for acts committed in their own histories, rather than focussing on migrant workers' issues in Qatar.

He opened by saying: "Today I have strong feelings. Today I feel Qatari, I feel Arab, I feel African, I feel gay, I feel disabled, I feel a migrant worker."
—
"Of course I am not Qatari, Arab, African, gay, disabled or a migrant worker. But I feel like them because I know what it means to be discriminated and bullied as a foreigner in a foreign country.

[b] "As a child I was bullied because I had red hair and freckles. I was bullied for that." [\b]

Hahaha equating this shit to being bullied for freckles also a gem is saying the west can’t criticize anyone because of our history and we should be apologizing for the next 3,000 years.. LOL

French media saying Benzema is OUT! of the world cup

Now officially out. Sad that the Ballon d'or winner won't be at the tournament. First time since 1978.

And like I said I think he feels untouchable as voted in again as FIFA president. Feels he can say and do what he likes

Already VAR got it right
Literally offside
I know why no-one listens to DD’s presentations
He’s not familiar with the laws of the game

DD is Dion Dublin AICMFP

[From Despair To Where?]

Marginal and technically the correct decision but one that only VAR could have made, IMO.

Mustn't let my hope that Qatar crash & burn blind me to a correct decision.

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Going to enjoy watching Qatar get absolutely rinsed

[Orion1871]

Second goal was more offside than the disallowed one.

[PieEater]

Going to enjoy watching Qatar get absolutely rinsed

+1


Myself and probably the rest of the world wondering whether they'd bribed the VAR officials after that disallowed goal. such is the distrust with this whole event

[Franchise FC]

Second goal was more offside than the disallowed one.

Yeah, thought that
Didn’t take long to confirm it, though

[Franchise FC]

On a different note, how is Erik Ten Haag given time off to manage Qatar ?

[Orion1871]

Qatar fans look like they could do with a drink after this first half.
