2022 World Cup Discussion

[mexico1970]

World cups have always been about money, this one is no different. Pearl clutchers will make hay until the first ball is kicked and then everyone else will sit back and enjoy the feast of football as the cash registers ring.

Mr.Lineker the king of woke, master of all human rights, out there in the land of no human rights basically sponsoring it, despite all his deflecting bullshit.

I think a lot of his tweets are sponsored by whoever owns him.

I am trying with much difficulty to get in to the spirit of the World Cup.

A month of Football coming up. I should be excited.

Yet i am not....It is not helping the event is happening in the Western Hemisphere Autumn, with cold dark early nights and shit loads of rain.

You read the Western MSM Papers etc. And they are slaughtering Qatar at every opportunity.

Sure there are valid concerns over abuses going on in Qatar.

You can not help feeling though. Is it really all about the deaths of construction workers, human rights abuses etc. Or is this just being used as the excuse to demonize a whole country and ruin the Football carnival before it even begins. A bit like the shit our brown skinned owners get on a regular basis. Yet white American owners get a free pass for operating the same way.

I wish we would keep politics and Sport separate.

Demonizing the Majority for the actions of a political minority.

Football should be used to unite and build bridges.

Not be politicised to condemn and divide.

But he’s become a political spokesman as well. He seems to have a moral compass that he chooses to ignore in his quest for the dirty dollar, on his case, the pound.

You mean you dislike some of the causes he is fond of and mentions on his personal Twitter account.

How is doing his job as the BBC’s lead presenter ignoring his moral compass?

Your second line is the reason no one is arsed.
A month of football has been cancelled to stage a month of this shite, it won't be football, too hot!

Your second last line is something fucking Blatter would come out with and he is the reason for this farce.

Blatter believes football is more important than it is, he's a fucking idiot.

Blatter believes football is more important than it is, he's a fucking idiot.

They have told us that taking a knee and wearing rainbow laces will make the world sit up and think, whilst at the same time giving the event to a country who on the face of it couldn't give a fuck about human rights or so they say.

That being said, people will get involved and will get carried away after it kicks off, there will be the usual anti-English bile thrown about when the waistcoat gets England through to the semis before they get knocked out by a 2nd rate unfancied team.

 

[Big-P]

Who’s even arsed? Sure somebody else will have said this but it feels like an international version of the Fifa Club World. Championship, pointless ballache in some corrupt medieval shithole. Not for me.

A moral compass is something that can be ignored by celebrity mate, when it suits.

Can't build up any enthusiasm whatsoever for this joke of a tournament. Something which has been a highlight of my life every 4 years has been reduced to nothing as far as I'm concerned. Haven't even got a wall chart this time around. Roll on 19th December.

Me and Mrs W are of on a cruise on Sunday. Timed perfectly to get back on the 17th Dec. I shall be able to ignore this bollocks of a tournament in it's entirety and concentrate on tropical islands.

I'll probably get covid but that's better than watching Boregate and his shite tactics.

 

[LWashington]

Spot on.
When Kane is arrested in the tunnel for refusing to take off his rainbow arm band what then?

Southgate will play himself in the middle of a back 7, with 3 holding midfield players.
