Crewton Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Just read an article about the Doha Fan Park. Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Hopefully, when this WC is over, FIFA get a proper shoeing in the Courts and/or gets sidelined by another world governing body. Some of them should be rotting in prison.

The only beer sold in the fan festivals will be cans of Budweiser at 50 Qatari rials, currently £11.60. …since when was Budweiser reclassified as beer?

Anon Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Of all the complaints I have about Qatar, Europeans crying because they can't drink beer cheaply in a Muslim country is at the very bottom of the list.

Highgate Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Senegal, potential second round opponents for England, will be without Mane for the tournament. He has to undergo surgery on his knee. It's a shame to see players missing the World Cup due to injuries, especially the ones that can change any game with a moment of brilliance.

Day Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Whilst it shouldn’t be a major issue, this should have been announced prior to ticket sales, not say you will sell then 48hrs from kick off reverse the decision.

Carl Sagan Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Instead of rainbow armbands, I feel the whole team should be wearing black armbands for the 6,500 workers who've died building the stadia. And during the warmup our players should take their own minute's silence. What a terrible thing that's happened, but it doesn't seem to be the media's focus. Playing this World Cup feels somewhat like still going ahead and playing the European Cup Final after Heysel.

Now that Qatar have banned alcohol in and around stadiums, the Scottish and Irish decision to boycott the World Cup suddenly makes sense.
