Maybe the BBC agree: Former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is the latest name to join BBC Sport's team for television coverage of this year's World Cup. The ex-defender, 50, played for Argentina at the 2002 tournament.
Re the alcohol ban at the stadiums - “Those in corporate areas of stadiums at the tournament will still be able to purchase alcohol.” Now there’s a surprise. Football is ****ed. Accept the twats going back on their promises as it only affects the ordinary fans and they don’t count in football nowadays.
I knew a kid at uni who drank, smoked weed and pulled his fair share of girls on nights out. Pork was where he drew the haram line though. Had to make sure the pizza from Domino’s didn’t have any pepperoni on it as he supped his Dark Fruits
You can see Qatari males in western clothes, at Doha airport, waiting for flights to SE Asian fleshpots

Good for them. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/20470957/england-sponsor-lucozade-pulls-branding-world-cup/
Gary Lineker says he is in Qatar to "report, not support" the World Cup and will discuss the issues surrounding the "tainted" tournament on air. The host nation has been criticised for its stance on same-sex relationships, its human rights record and treatment of migrant workers. Lineker said there was a "queasy feeling" surrounding the tournament. "This is our job to come and report it and show people what it's about at home and hopefully in a fair way," he said. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63680680
But fans were warned they face being flogged or sent to jail for minor offences. Big Vern has booked his ticket!!
Talking of exploitation. Some make a lot on lowly paid people turning out stuff in the name of fashion. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/englands-115-qatar-world-cup-28529972
A **** storm is brewing. All so easily avoided if at the opening of the envelope, those in attendance had burst out laughing at a most preposterous joke. Or once the laughter subsided just said, No. That time has long long gone, and here we are now. I have the feeling football will not be the headline news at this world Cup.
For what it's worth. I've done one of the many available predictions sites.. Got the quarter finals as: Argentina vs Holland, Switzerland vs Spain, Denmark vs. Wales, Brazil vs. Croatia. Semis: Argentina vs Switzerland, Denmark vs Brazil Final: Argentina vs Brazil...Fancy Argentina to win it... ps..England out in the last 16 to Holland...Shock horror: Germany and Portugal fail to get through the groups.
The funny thing is, no matter what they say they can & can’t do in Qatar, EVERYTHING is available, you don’t even need to search hard on google, same with all the Middle Eastern hypocrites, A guy I worked with years ago, worked in the Middle East area & said he was hit on by guys more there than anywhere else. Escorts advertise openly in all the countries, male, female & trans too. You can probably get whatever drugs you want there too. I don’t think it’s the fact they’re behind the times, it’s the fact that they’re in denial that it exists, even when they see it right in front of them. A lot of people from there go to Thailand & love the ladyboys, but they’ll never admit that’s what they went for. They’re exactly the same as religious hypocrites.
