The Official FIFA World Cup 2022 Megathread

Yes that’s just the same as being jailed or stoned for your sexuality

I notice from that thread that FIFA are trying to tell the teams what armbands to wear too.

I hope the tournament tanks and we never see football in shit places again.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I hope the teams tell FIFA to get fucked and either refuse to play or refuse to pay any fine meted out and challenge them to kick them out. Nice 99 call of all the big teams packing up and going home would be delightful.

Wales already have said they'll wear what they like according to Sky sports.

I expect the Danes will given what their kit is.

Comments about how Europe should be apologising for their behaviour of the last 3,000 years.
Yep it’s blatantly obvious that people living in Europe today are still fully responsible for the actions of those 10-20 generations prior to their birth.
Great way to sweep away the real problems going on in Qatar.
So discrimination against the community and treatment of migrant workers is mitigated because of this.
I might start demanding apologies from the locals from Normandy, Denmark and Norway if I visit there again because of how they behaved over 1,000 years ago.

Gaslight central. Fucking wanker.

 

[AndyWolves]

I can't see the football being much good given how hot it will be, lack of genuine fans / atmosphere and the general apathy towards this tournament.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hope not. It needs to absolutely bomb in every way imaginable.

FIFA track record of appointing presidents is laughable Stanley Rous treated it like a job for the boys club with a select few allowed in.
Havelange levels of corruption and put Blatter in place to eventually oust him. Blatter need I say more. Now Infantino who just comes across weak.
Biggest mistake ever made was not appointing Lenart Johhansen in 1998.

 

[Johnny75]

Hope not. It needs to absolutely bomb in every way imaginable.

Part of me hopes all the countries play at testimonial level and draw every game 1-1

I can't believe y'all stole Jon Champion from us. The nerve.

 

[Doctor Doog]

I think you stole him from us first.
