Do we think Quatar is regretting hosting this now? All it’s done is exposed how intolerant the place is.
I think they wanted to show they are a big deal, rather than demonstrate ho cuddly they are.
The World Cup – and FIFA – is now rubbish. As said earlier there are too many low-quality teams involved, too many matches that are of no interest to anyone other than the countries involved. The opening match is a fine example: can anyone truly say they are excited by Qatar vs Equador? The main purpose of the WC is no longer about great football, it seems to be about justifying Infantino’s travel and bonus.
It will never happens as EUFA is almost as bad, but I’d like to see Europe withdraw from FIFA. Let them have the WC without Europe and we’ll get by with the European Cup. We could invite a few other countries: Japan, US, South Korea, etc – call it European Cup invitational or something. Play it in Germany every time as
a) they organise things well, and
b) they always win everything anyway
it would cut down on the costs
anyone with me? No?
