I suspect the thought of incarceration in somewhere like Qatar is enough to deter even the most hardened football hooligan!

TheAccountant Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 So we have Morocco vs. Croatia for 3rd place. I will be rooting for Morocco. In the final its France vs. Argentina. Would sort of like Mesi to get the cup so I will support Argentina but will not be bothered at all if France wins. Just will root for a good match mostly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) Gianni Infantino has just announced that thanks to everyone involved in Qatar, this has been the best World Cup ever. So, hooray - thanks to FIFA and Qatar, people of all creed, religion and sexual orientation can proudly walk hand in hand in an atmosphere of peace love and harmony along the streets of Qatar. STOP STOP .... Breaking news ..... Being part of the LGBT+ community is still a crime in Qatar punishable by imprisonment or even death. Woman have next to no rights whatsoever, but hey - the Qatari men love a good game of football. Infantino by name, infantile by nature.

I'd guess Qatar spent a lot of money, some of it to FIFA, to get the games there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's safe to say Graham Chapman never visited the region, except under the disguise of Brian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to guess - the facts are out there. 16 of the 22 members of the FIFA Executive Committee were charged with various acts of theft, dishonesty, fraud and so on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God Boxing Day is a little more than a week away and the Premier League starts back up. It`s been a really good World Cup. Shame that 6,500 had to die building the stadiums and infrastructure to make it happen. FIFA seem to be pretty comfortable with their decision, and there`s enough money from the trough regurgitated back to UK and US companies to make it almost impossible for the Qataris to be solely blamed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I prepare for irritating French celebration videos of dancing in the Champs Elysee? I don`t want that. I don`t want Messi to win either. Argentina to win but Messi injured early on, that appears to be the only acceptable resolution. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, like Ronaldo at EURO 2016. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) Though I don't much care for either side, it does feel like the right two teams have reached the final. Early there is tension in every pass Argentina applying the early pressure... Edited December 18, 2022 by goose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
