    Odds on Albania as WC finalist ?



    I smell a boycott of the Qatar WC coming on.

    Governments are piss tired with this and is it possible for the players to participate in Qatar, after their Black Lives Matter actions ?

    Hardly

    Main sponsor just left the danish FA, and I can't see any of the scandies going there

    I reckon that some muslim countries will go and some more will be needed to fill the gaps.


    Turkey to win ?

    Of course they should boycott it.

    Any player or association with an ounce of dignity would.





    So, umm, how many teams need to pull out for Ireland to sneak in?

    One way to look at it is that the 6,500 deaths will be for nothing if there's a boycott and the World Cup doesn't go ahead.

    Good logic

    The next WC host should let 10000 brown people die and the event is a sure thing

    That's the total for the country, and 'migrant workers', not all of which are manual laborers.

    The number listed for World Cup projects is 37.


    Clever journalism.

    They headline that 6,500 migrant workers have died in Qatar since WC preperations began.

    But, reading the article that is all migrant workers in the country in the last 10 years. The number of migrant workers that have died whilst working on WC projects is 37.

    Does it also say that of the 37, the 34 of those died of non-work related causes ?

    So 3 died constructing all this infrastructure.

    You are right, Edmond

    Cunning journalisme


    You have ofcourse told me the whole truth, or---?

    More recently, members of the Shura Council were criticised by rights group for introducing recommendations that would see the reversal of gains made by the labour reforms.

    playing football in 50oC heat.

    No air conditioned stadiums as promised.

    Fans bussed out into the desert for a beer at a tenner a pint.

    It's all been a sham and a farce since day one.

    Let Albania have it as the whole country is corrupt as Sebb Blatter.
    Shalom

    Why not - the more countries pull out, the greater the chance.

    Has any football federation actually stated that they won't go?
