World Cup 2022

Football's Coming Home!

No beer now?

[DonJuan]

Now how many fans going to to be imprisoned bringing booze into the country?

Lots of stories flying around about match fixing for the opening game (even though gambling is illegal in Qatar). Bet Qatar opening match.

[ThePenIsMightier]

Is it too late to buy tickets? I want to witness the riots due to no alcohol and then witness the fire hoses and rubber bullets on the Rainbow protestors who think they should be allowed to have a Pride Parade in this progressive country.
What a dumpster fire.

Regardless of your feelings about the game of soccer, this event is trash, put on by a corrupt organization. As bad as the IOC, which is awful.

Love the game, great memories playing it as a kid and as an adult.

But FIFA is the worst part of the game. This bribery scandal that got Russia and Qatar their World Cups is terrible. I hope Qatar gets in a shit storm after this.

Lets keep the discussion to football (Soccer) and shit talking about each others team please. Or open a separate political thread on this.

This is a great tournament with great players. I am so pumped to see the goals, upsets, heros, villans and dark horses.

Who are peoples suprise team for the tournament? Im thinking Canada, Senegal and Ghana.

[ExtraSlow]

England's team sucks, and it's not even a real country.

[DonJuan]

I'd like to call Senegal my dark horse team, but that would be racist.

I'd love to see an African team win.

I agree. I think if a team will win it or go far. Senegal comes up on the list a lot. Sadio Mane is out of the tournament with surgery. Thats a big loss for them.

I was impressed with Ghana last time. They were robbed by Uruguay. I think this might be the tournament where we see a African team do really well. The standards in football has changed so much. Some of these players are at top teams.

Im curious to see how the South American teams fair. They don't do great in the tournament when its held in Europe. I know Brazil and Argentina are favourites. But after watching for so many years. I find on the day they don't always play together or get it right. They players are pretty good though. I dont see Brazil winning it.

I saw that, seriously what the fuck. I remember years ago FIFA and AB came out with statements reassuring fans that there would be beer sales as normal. I would be fucking PISSED if I'd bought tickets and they pulled this shit DAYS before the first game

Anyone have a SFW site to watch the games?

[bjstare]

I see the thread split happened. I believe this is still the place for me to say soccer's fucking dumb... right?

To not say it sucks would be taking a dive.
But at least the soccer players that dive are definitely, positively not homosexual. Because they wouldn't be able to get into the country if they were! Let alone make it to Murdered Slave Stadium.

I have IPTV. Saving so much money with it too.

But while at work I would like to watch and not do work, but limited by SFW sites.

BTW England 6-2 over Iran. I was surprised Iran got 2. Warmup for the game with the Americans.

senegal has been impressive so far.. might be regretting my NED as winning the group. edit: cancel that, beauty goal
