South Africa hosted the World Cup in 2010, 16 years after the end of Apartheid, and Brazil hosted it in 2014, 29 years after the end of the military dictatorship. Not sure what you're getting at there.

I really hope we don't let him go to Arsenal after we've seen the impact Jesus and Zinny have made. Gundo understands our game far too well and that's what they seem to be trying to emulate, it would be like adding another coach for them.

As well as being a sports correspondent of Al Jazeera(State Owned Qatari news broadcaster) before that I believe. Loves the Qataris Rob does, probably because they pay him well. Someone needs to ask if he took a bung from the Qataris at some point in his career.

These are the most recent reports on these countries. They were probably even worse in 2010 and 2014.

World Report 2022: Rights Trends in Brazil
As you can see South Africa is not quite the "Rainbow nation" paradise it likes to think it is and the police are still murdering street kids in Brazil. My point is that virtually every country which has ever hosted a World Cup has poor human rights records but I can only recall the UK media ever making a fuss over Qatar.
I don’t think anyone in SA thinks it’s a paradise, certainly not anymore. I think it’s highly debatable to claim it has a “much worse” HR record than Qatar as your original post did. I’m also not sure why as City fans anyone is interested in defending the Qatari state and absolutist monarchy to be honest, but that’s a seperate pointThese are the most recent reports on these countries. They were probably even worse in 2010 and 2014.

You're right, things were better in the good old days....
Like Italy 1934....
And Argentina 1978...
Or Russia 2018...
