Genuinely excited myself for this World Cup to start. If you have a team you’re rooting for and a team you predict to win, I’d like to start convo here for it.

I know a ton of people feel that way as well.

I have never cared about this sport and never watched it, but at least this year I can simply do what everyone else does and boycott the entire thing.

"not wanting to bring politics into things" is exactly what lets countries, companies, etc. get away with terrible things "my neighbor kills dogs and buries them in his backyard but I try not to bring politics into our Sunday afternoon softball game"

Canada’s in it which is cool, but Qatar never should have been awarded the Cup in the first place.

Fyre Festival 2.0. Apparently parts of the fan village aren't even finished being built. The whole thing is just corruption at its finest.
Also proud of the teams telling fifa to fuck off and they are still going to wear their one love armbands. *because fifa asked them not to.

Nobody is bringing politics into this, its already highly political and it has mostly to do with the host nation being discriminatory hate-fueled bigots that see this world cup as nothing more than a geopolitical power move and a marketing ploy. Fuck Qatar tbh. Their medieval ways and human rights disastrous views are not to be endorsed and at this point, following the WC is doing just that. @jason kranz sig elite / @sulovilen elite sig

a misogynistic, homophobic, desert slave state that sucks at football buys a sporting event to do sportwashing
“but football” Just ignoring politics is privilege. So many people don’t get to have that.

So I would say it should get better. And the 2030 World Cup bid is Portugal Spain and Ukraine with Greece Saudi Arabia and Egypt and the third bid is Uruguay Argentina and Paraguay so I would say it'll get better along the way, but if I actually went into politics I would fully agree with you it was a sham of a selection for the 2022 Bidding process.11-19-2022, 12:07 AMRandominoe Wrote: On the same boat as @sve7en here.
