The number 1 reason to boycott the 2022 Qatar WC is because they will use the world's biggest sporting event to promote the name of A**b**n Gulf.

Really? Well, because you want it I will say it myself.Originally posted by Keano View PostIt honestly makes me feel as if I am discussing the issue with robots!
Hosting a World Cup in Qatar is a no-go simply because they have no football culture. They have been on top in terms of human right abuse and modern slavery is written all over the country. These poor workers from south-east Asia are working under horrible circumstances and 400 have already died. That said, there is a Sharia law.
Imagine if gays or lesbians want to go there, would you think that goes together? Obviously not. Not to mention they want to keep it in the winter which is basically impossible due to all the leagues that need to change all their dates to make sure the World cup will be hold in the freaking winter! I can name many more things but I think my statement is clear for now.
And what about their promoting of the false name of the Persian Gulf? They will use this tournament to promote it as well, that's for sure. All these disadvantages do outweigh the fact it's ''home'' for Iranian fans 100%.
NO to Qatar 2022.Comment

The awarding of the WC to Qatar will go down as one of the most notable stains of FIFA. I think it is way too late to take the WC away from Qatar, way too much money has already been spent. I hope I am wrong though.
The most likely way Qatar loses this WC is if European teams mount a serious campaign against Qatar which is unlikely unless the WC is moved to the winter months.Comment

Do you wish Iran could hold the next Asian Cup tournament in Iran? well Iran's violation of Human rights against its own citizens supasses that of Qatar's, let alone the foreigners'.
Do you really think South Africa has had a rich and profound football culture? furthermore do you think Football in Australia is their number one sports? well it's not even considered their number 2 sport either, as both Cricket and Rugby come first and beyond Football.
Lesbians cannot go to Qatar? said who? they may not be able to make out on the streets obviously, but not being able to go there?Comment

I am also against Iran holding an Asian Cup because of their violation of human rights. I never said I would like Iran to have an Asian Cup so I am not sure where you got that from.Originally posted by Keano View Post
South Africa at least qualified for several World Cups, the same can't be said about Qatar at all. The fact alone that Qatar has not made it to any major tournament speaks volume about their football culture.
Qatar is a country which is under Sharia law. Basically, being homosexual or lesbian in Sharia countries gets you intro trouble and you also know that.Comment

I never concluded that implication, I only asked you if you supported that notion.Originally posted by Kiarash View Post
Now that your answer is no, then it's fair enough

Sepp Blatter finally calls Qatar WC a "mistake"
Wouldn't Qatar automatically qualifying for the WC leave only 3 spots left for Asian teams? Wouldn't it make it harder for us to qualify?

Yes that is the way it works. WC 2002 in Korea/Japan only left 2.5 spots for the remaining teams.Originally posted by TAJ_LIVERPOOL View PostComment

^That's what happened when Japan/S. Korea were hosts, AFC's numbers were cut from 4.5 to 3 I beleive. Qatar hosting means that Iran, Japan, S. Korea, Australia, and the rest will need to fight it out for the remanining 3 spots, so much more difficult to qualify.He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt, for he has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice.

And 2002 case was really not a big deal as Japan and S. Korea would have inevitably qualified had they not been the hosts anyway. However in Qatar's case FCUK bar man!Originally posted by ARYA :) View Post

This was just a friendly reminder from Blatter right after one payment was missed by Qatar government.. he will correct himself next week after he gets his regular monthly payment PLUS interest.__________________________________________________ ________________________________________

well, you can't take away their WC because of the hot weather, islamic laws or lack of fans. These issues were known prior to them getting the WC. They would have a legal case against FIFA given the billions they've already spent. Also every future country would have concerns about spending enormous amount of money and having the games taken away from them. I don't think even the dying workers could be used against them.
The only way FIFA could legally take the WC away from Qatar is to prove that bribery happened. Now good luck on that. That would be like the US congress voting a paycut for themselves.“It is easier to fool the people, than to convince them they have been fooled." - Mark TwainComment
