You are extracting a urine hear.

Posted above, all those points are little excuses.

For those who are against, what is the real reason,
Come on, be honest, what is the real reason that you are against Qatar of hosting the world cup.

The real reason is that I can't be doing with AC Cobras.

HTH.

Interesting to hear that the ESTC didnt manage to sell all of their allocation. Quite surprised at that to be honest.

Dont know if its because of costs or boycott or something else.

Its all starting to unfold. Middle east carriers have partnered up to offer match day shuttle. Return flights from Dubai to Doha in one day. That means no need for accommodation.

If you're going to watch a match you would want to soak up the atmosphere, have a couple of drinks and take in the sights and some local food.

This is literally, fly in, watch and go home. not exactly the world cup experience in previous years.

I bet the Qatarian government is wincing over that admittance.

To be fair, if it was going to be held anywhere in that region, the UAE had the capacity to make a better fist of it.

On balance, its not going to be much longer than you average away-day match-day train ride for a English league game.

Airport security are going to be busy though lol

What atmosphere?

There will be zero atmosphere. I lived there for 5 years.
An utter dictatorship with no womens or LGBT rights.
Awful human rights.
An utter st hole.
Yes I stuck it for the money. Regret it now.

I totally agree with sepp Blatter, it's a world cup and every country in the world should be entitled to hold a world cup at least once.

Don't you think some countries might not be suitable? Tuvalu for example.

Make your mind up? Tuvalu is an independent country and according to your first post, should be entitled to a WC.

Wales are through to the World Cup, and in the same group as England. A tense match for sure!
