FIFA World Cup 2022

If you are a victim of oppression, you should be first in line to address these wrongdoings in your country rather than getting used/turning a blind eye to it. Most Westerners are not aware of their priviliges, so it’s our duty to remind them what’s going on in this part of the world.

About Qatar, I’m utterly disgusted. The tournament hasn’t even begun yet and it’s full of scandals one after another.

This is an additional aspect why I´m so mad about this whole situation. The tournament hasn´t even begun and they (FIFA) have already stolen a great opportunity to experience some fun for millions...

There are more reported deaths than minutes to play in htis tournament and the president of FIFA somehow just said that "it´s okay" because the victim´s families get paid more the victim´s salary.

I´ll only gonna check some results from a ticker but not watch a single minute of this world cup, it feels simply wrong in every single aspect.

Rather than boycotting it, let’s yasssify it. Rainbow armbands would be a start - which some countries are doing!

 

[ESC94]

There´s one stupid argument that many supporters say and that I can´t hear any longer:" Yes the situation isn´t good, but during the World Cup all eyes are on and the situation can only get better for the people there."

Ok: How much did the human rights situation improve in and after the Olympics were held?? I would say not that much.

Some little prediction before WC, this will probably change when the whole thing will start but let's go

Went bananas

Yeah like, what's the point if I only predict predictable stuff

 

[Realest]

Iran and Qatar will be the Surprise-Qualifiers this Year.
Between Serbia and Switzerland its 50/50.
The Rest will be predictable.

@Looren I agree that Brazil will win the cup and Serbia will be the dark horse...
if we meet Croatia I guess they would beat us... in my simulation this would lead to Yugo derby Serbia vs Croatia in the quarter final... this could result in another balkan war lol

I didn't plan to push the Netherlands, they somehow sneaked into the final in my prediction ... because I think England won't do well this time. This would btw be the 4th loss in a WC final for the Dutch

England always the bridesmaid never the bride

The key word there - 'histories'.
Qatar's human rights violations, discrimination, use of slave labour and barbaric laws are very much a present issue.

I quite agree with you here, yeah of course I think west did awful things with colonization and shit but it's the past indeed, and what Qatar is doing is a present issue and Infantino's declaration is stupid

facts are facts, but i still hate qatar bye

 

[hijirio]

Anyways I support my one and only Serbia as I do anywhere else. Samo Sloga Srbina Spasava!

And prayer circle for Qatar to be eliminated in the first round (unlikely as there are muıltiple reports that they already started rigging, having offered Ecuador players $7.4mn to lose the opening match)

 

[hijirio]

Also sorry for the spam but am I the only one who's disturbed by the hypocrisy displayed in the official theme music video where they show people drinking in a pub, Myriam Fares with revealing clothes doing belly dance (which is simply impossible&unacceptable in this country), and having hired a sex diva like Nicki Minaj as well.

It's just too inconsistent. I don't know which one I hate more, the blatant conservatism in Iran or the hypocrite one in Qatar.

"Today I feel Qatari. Today I feel Arabic. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel (like) a migrant worker.

"Of course I am not Qatari, I am not an Arab, I am not African, I am not gay, I am not disabled. But I feel like it, because I know what it means to be discriminated, to be bullied, as a foreigner in a foreign country. As a child I was bullied - because I had red hair and freckles, plus I was Italian, so imagine."

This man is a complete and utter idiot.

His name says it already: Infant-ino. - But then again, a child probably has more brain.
