Why people are more upset about alcohol being banned than the thousands of slaves who died building those stadiums still baffles me. #BoycottQatarWorldCup 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The UAE has built cities on the backs of slaves from other countries. Included is this travesty is Saudi Arabia with its share of horrific human rights abuses. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doc benway Posted November 28, 2022 I’m not a FIFA or Qatar fan but I’m going to ask that we keep this thread focused on the game, not the politics and world suffering please. Y’all can start a new thread for that if you like. Lots of things suck in this world but the level of futbol on display in the cup is something special. Thanks friends 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I said my piece, and if a thread opens, I'll speak up only if I have anything else to say. I don't have access to the politics forum, and won't request access as I have found over the years most political discussions quickly become people repeating themselves ad infinitum. I'm done--one post was enough. Edited November 28, 2022 by Earl Grey 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doc benway Posted November 28, 2022 What a way for Wales to go, ouch! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miffymog Posted November 28, 2022 I've ended up missing quite a few of the games, but we're now approaching the end of the group stages where the last two games of each group play at the same time. A lot of the groups have played out where a number of different teams can go through on results, so it becomes a game of keeping track of what's going on in both games to see who makes it. Will all the big teams make it? It looked as though Germany might not when they lost to Japan in their first match, but some important games went there way yesterday so they should be okay now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

doc benway Posted December 10, 2022 The officiating has been perplexing at times. It seems they've been mostly quite generous with allowing physical play across the board. Then seemed a bit biased in favor of Argentina yesterday. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
