FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™

[Moob Butter]

Hard to believe but there’s a World Cup starting this Sunday with the opening match between Qatar and Ecuador happening at 16.00 GMT.

Any matches you’re looking forward to? Predictions?

My employer is giving everyone a couple of hours off work to see the England v Iran match on TV on Monday. As a Scot, I wish Iran every success.

Go Australia!!

The memes have already started.

I am not sure which of the two, the World Cup or Twitter's infrastructure, will last longer at this point.

Apparently a single beer costs as much as $20 or more dollarydoos! That's a bloody outrage!

 

[wataru330]

Oi! Beer has been banned at the World Cup.

 

[Moob Butter]

Oi! Beer has been banned at the World Cup.

Let’s be real though, it’s the ban on homosexuality which is why no one here has tickets to Qatar.

 

[basic]

won't be watching this year. not gonna reinforce fifa's dipshit decisions.

Nuke Qatar.

I have thought this was a completely ridiculous idea since they announced the location years ago.

"Fixtures staged in the afternoon in Qatar are expected to be played with temperatures around 91-93 degrees Fahrenheit (33-34 degrees Celsius), while even those that kick off at 10 p.m. local time are likely to be played at around 79 F (26 C) and humidity above 60%."

Brutal.

Strange world cup in the winter. It's gonna suck but will watch it anyway. Infantino is way worse than Blatter. It's not the fault of the players, most of them were kids when the oil money decided this is a good idea.

This gives me hope the Australian side will perform well.

I'm a big footie fan but I'm not going to watch that shit. Fuck Qatar, fuck FIFA, shove yer corrupt WC travesty up yer arses.

 

[wataru330]

Ugh. Fuck a World Cup this year, AFL doesn’t start back up until March 2023, and F1 season is wrapping up.

Guess it’s time to work on finally 1cc some Neo sports games this winter, because I give zero fucks about USA sports.

I agree with all this, really strange as well that Blatter or whatever the fuck his name was had come out recently saying FIFA was wrong to choose Qatar to host the World Cup when he was in charge at the time and taking back handers to do so.

Fuck FIFA as an organisation.

But, I personally will watch a few matches as no matter how much a shit as an organisation FIFA is, it’s a rare high stakes National team competition.

I’d much rather FIFA wasn’t organising it though. Even evil bastards EA are sick of their shit. I can’t wait for the greedy cunts (FIFA) to give their brand to the cheapest bidder for developing the FIFA 24 game and for it to suck balls and damage their brand further.

FIFA says it will make its own FIFA 24 game and it'll be ‘the best one’

EA may have given up the official licence but now FIFA itself is going to make a game with the same name, and several more besides.

Simple Series 2000: The FIFA.

 

[skate323k137]

EA will just drop FEEFA 2024 instead and let their lawyers sort it out.

I'm pretty sure it's the slave labor and theocracy in general. I'm with Tak. Fuck FIFA and Qatar.

 

[Moob Butter]

I Fuck men.

FTFY.

 

[StevenK]

I, for one, am happy that a nation has finally stood up to the west in it's sinful, wicked, amoral promotion of the act of drinking Budweiser.

 

[Lagduf]

FTFY.

Fuck you, most of all.

what if i told you that, instead, they are encouraging people to drink bud zero?

 

[Moob Butter]

Fuck you, most of all.

I guess you, Sage and Terry won’t be sending me Christmas cards this year. I’ll somehow survive.

I hope this link works outside the UK: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/63691286

Absolutely laughable fan accommodation made out of thick bin bag plastic which keeps the heat in, no air conditioning, brown shitty water coming out of the taps, parts of the ‘festival site’ not even built, and to add insult to injury this hell hole costs fans £175 a night. It’s actually disgusting how much distain there is to the football fans in Qatar, no question they are rising them for as much cash as possible while giving so little back in return. Glad I’m watching the odd match at home.
