The advertisers on denmarks shirts don't want to be associated with Qatar, so they have dulled everything down

England are one injury to Trippier away from Southgate having to explain why he thinks Luke Ayling is a better player than Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Netherlands will send diplomatic officials from our government to Qatar, and also not ruled out that King Willem-Alexander will attend some of the dutch team their matches


there was talks of not attending because of effects of the war in Ukraine and current energy, gas crisis, minister Hoekstra after international debates has decided we will send government officials after all

[Nicky91]

hopefully FIFA paid attention last night to NEC - Fortuna and they don't give many matches to Bas Nijhuis and consorts


what a amateur ref

[Zizu]

Yikes !

I just heard about a guy who went to Qatar with his brother and wife last year .. they all got a little drunk and were imprisoned for three days .. the wife was taken off to a women’s prison .

The guys were injected/sedated whilst there were in their cells !!

That’s a scary thought

You're missing out on the good stuff Nicky if you ban these styles of Music.

Doesn't the WipeOut games for example have iconic Techno Music?

Turkey and Pakistan are supplying thousands of security forces to Qatar to provide security for the world cup. Doesn't that sound like a lot of fun

Also, the UK is sending hundreds of police to Qatar to advise fans on how they should behave

I predict lots of problems for people attending

Team Base Camps

Base camps will be used by the 32 national squads to stay and train before and during the World Cup tournament. On July 27, 2022, FIFA announced the hotels and training sites for each participating team.[77][78] This World Cup is the most compact since the inaugural edition in 1930, as 24 of the 32 teams are within a 10km radius of each other and are concentrated within the Doha area. It is also the first instalment since 1930 where players will not need to take flights to matches, and can remain at the same training base throughout the entire tournament.[79][80]

They should have booked BlackPink as well

Only girls are bothered about BTS can’t see the fans in the ground being over impressed with BTS
