    A reporter decides to wear one instead

  • fall in line or face the consequences...

    I think that in this little game it is above all FIFA and Qatar who will lose, Qatar won this World Cup thanks to certain European countries, so they have all the evidence to also bring them down if they really want.


    it's all just communication nothing will happen, Europeans like fifa and qatar are just playing a communication game to save face.


    and it's Football not "soccer"

    really? since sure there's a lot of people who dislike them for the human rights issues but will still tune in to see the games and whatnot

    I mean has/will qatar/fifa faced any consequences - not to my knowledge - FIFA still brings in the big dollars in terms of sponsorships and deals so unless brands are pulling back by the millions


    There is a lot of sabre-rattling and not much else

    Part of the population yes that's why they do all this communication to save face, but in reality the governments know very well what they are doing they are the ones who gave this world cup to Qatar. FIFA and Qatar just play this little game on their side too, you always need good and bad guys in a story. For people in the Qatar European are the bad guy and for European the qatar and fifa are the bad guy, face is save for everyone, everyone is happy. show must go on.

    If the Europeans really want it, they put an end to the World Cup and FIFA quickly. In the world of football europe is the big fish if Europe had wanted it, it would have refused to send their teams and it was over. Qatar and FIFA would have been humiliated.
