The Official Qatar World Cup 2022 Thread

If Qatar were really anti-gay, then half the world cup wouldn't be able to happen anyway because half the players are defo gay. What do they expect them to do? Waste away for potentially a month there and not try to **** each other? You gotta be mad. Qatar in reality is very pro-gay because it is allowing all the gays into their borders and hosting a tournament for them. Unfortunately, Reece James could not go, how sad.

Just stop man. just stop it

Is there an official World Cup song this time?

Haven't seen any mention of one. They might as well have stopped after Wavin' Flag, nothing is topping that.

(I know that wasn't the official one but it's the most memorable one).

Alcohol will not be sold at the World Cup's eight stadiums in Qatar after Fifa changed its policy two days before the start of the tournament.

I can see Budweiser demanding a lot of compensation for this, both in lost revenue and publicity.

The beer thing, out of all the ridiculous things around Qatar, is one thing that I wouldn’t have had a problem with them imposing if they hadn’t agreed to allow alcohol.

It’s essentially a dry country and people going to the country should be abiding by the laws, whether you believe they’re ridiculous or not.

Just generally I’ll be interested to see what the atmosphere is like and even if the stadiums are full.

I dunno about laws, since its only poor peoples not allowed, the corporate & hosp boxes can still get all the booze served they like. Plus they've had over a decade to make their mind up about a booze associated event they asked/bribed for, and have now just changed their mind last min..

Nah I think they want to make a statement about how hairy and hetro they are, and they won't accept ay of these outrageous reasonable questions about dead slaves etc...

I’d like to see the travelling fans, in particular the England ones, try to break the rules and see what happens. Believe me these guys know that the Qataris are the real deals - they won’t be risking any punishment.


Remember what I said on here about a week ago. The Qatari people have a presence about them. I’m sure if we ever are in a room and they walk in, the room will fall silent and the legs will start to shake. They have an unspoken presence.

Dead tournament anyway. I have a lecture during the England game which is normally half empty because it’s optional as it isn’t a module just guidance, so I’m expecting it to be about 25% full on Monday.

Is the final at 20:00 in the UK ? I’n hoping for Portugal to win if not England so that Ronaldo lifts the trophy and retires.

Here is an official one I have found:



And there are another three songs to this World Cup.
