2022 World Cup Discussion

It was never going to be available inside stadiums mate. This is about the sale of beer at points just outside each stadium for fans with tickets. That was originally going to be allowed until this ruling, so if you want a pint now then you'll have to travel miles away from the ground by the looks of things.

Although I'm not going, the thing that annoys me most about this is that alcohol is still available in the corporate hospitality areas. It's just another kick in the bollocks for the average fan.

That's not how the news reported it but I'm mot eased really. Budweiser is piss anyway and I'd that's the only beer then my human rights need looking at.

Only got 3 nights booked on my tod in a fans village, the shipping containers are at stadium 974 which has got it's name from how many are part of the stadium's structure. 3 nights was the minimum to allow you to get your visa ( Hayaa Card ) no accomodation booked no visa are the rules. My son is there with his Mum for 1st week in another part of Doha.

Does the alcohol decision make much difference? Just stay and drink as much as you can in your hotel before heading to the game. No one will want to be out in the heat anyway. Italia 90 they banned alcohol for 50 plus hours to combat the England hooligans they were so concerned about. The English just stocked up before that and stayed in their hotels boozing. Where there's a will there's a way.

I know many people aren't bothered by this tournament, and I get it. It's at a silly time in the year and it should never have been given to Qatar. But it shouldn't have been given to Brazil or Russia either. Both lacked the infrastructure and had major political/human rights issues. England could host the tournament at the drop of the hat. We'd just cause carnage on our own streets, fight with rival fans, racially abuse our own players and sing a lot.

A lot of people need to get off their high horse. The decision was made, it was obviously corrupt - as has since been uncovered. Let's let them get on with it now. Our own club has owners from Abu Dhabi who have their own rules around alcohol and gay rights and their own issues on human rights. Our own country has people dying in boats trying to get over here so they can visit Rwanda. Concentrate on the football. The wider issues are deep rooted and evident in every single country. No one whinged about the Climate Change conference taking place in Egypt, a country who has a (now)British citizen imprisoned and that will not release him and a poor record on human rights. Yet addressing climate change is viewed as a positive, so they park their dissent in that case.

Germany, Spain, France and Belgium to have poor tournaments. England v Argentina in the final. It's coming home.
