Russia is going all Crimea 2014 on KSA. Shameful, I wish both teams would have lost.

bet when the tournament is over most will say they enjoyed Brazil much more, still can't believe Fifa rewarded Russia & Qatar back to back going against England & USA as bids

I honestly still can’t believe Qatar will be hosting the tournament in 4 years.

Doha is actually pretty nice, I toured one of the WC stadiums and it's right next to a 5+ star insane hotel and the craziest most opulent mall I've ever been to. They literally have more money than sense.

They also had to move the timing of the tournament, have horrible civil rights issues and are killing plenty of migrant workers in the process.

But Doha is nice.

is Qatar going to put it all in one city?

Well yeah I'm not arguing with you there, since when has human rights mattered to the world cup? Hell this thread is about russia v Saudi Arabi. But yeah Qatar basically imports third country Nationals and holds them as slaves, they drop dead left and right

is Qatar going to put it all in one city?

Qatar is all one city, Doha and then desert.

it's what Fifa deserves, stop giving it to countries that casual sports fans don't want to travel to
