General World Cup Thread 2022

Can’t understand how anyone with a conscience would go near it. Sickening

I'll be doing a one-man boycott anyways. load a me ballix.

Helps that I don’t like soccer but even if I did. There’s just no way.

If people dont want to post or discuss the actual football take the topic down

Ah no, each to their own, normally i'd tune in to the world cup as you say but the dirty money in soccer killed what little interest I had in it but as alan says it's not hard to boycott a sport you don't particularly l like lol

Brazil to win I think

What credentials do you have to make such a claim

I go to Diceys every Sunday night to dance Samba

Clown

Don't think the world cup should be held in Qatar, but as regards boycotting it, well nowadays you could make solid argument to boycott a lot of major sporting events, formula one, tennis, golf, boxing etc .They all hold competitions in these places. Also think it is a shit place to hold it for supporters, climate and time of the year.

Don't watch any of those :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Nor do I. F1 and golf are particularly odious

Any sport where the protagonists are multi-millionaires leaves me cold really, rugby is borderline but really only the top few are that wealthy.

So could we park the ethics and leave the thread just for the football? Presumably the morally outraged will boycott anyway.

Morally outraged? Hardly. It’s more a case of “meh” really.

Sher not a ball kicked yet don’t worry I’ll leave you to it. 😝

Yeah. I mean. What’s a few hundred or even a few thousand dead labourers when there’s football to enjoy.

Morality really doesn’t come into it.

Googled it out of interest ... way worse than I expected ... Ah the beautiful game ... enjoy!
