Give me something to puke on.... Like a Qatar flag

I'd love to see Jorge Sampaoli's reaction if Qatar gets grouped with Iran, we all know how Iran man handled Chile and he desperately brought in all his main players

That was a good karma for underestimating Iran.

"what's the point of a national team, that isn't national?" great tweet

the entire world will mock qatar for 2022 for years and years after it

Qatar is the joke of the world! They really are not doing much for their country by buying players. That's the problem with Arab mentality, they can buy their way through problems yet money doesn't solve them. They hurt themselves and I hope FIFA stops this naturalization non-sense. No pride whatsoever.

qatar is a joke, is like 11 clowns playing in the field

[persepolisfan]

as much of a joke qatar is, they are still a dangerous side and should not be underestimated

[eerooni]

Qatar buys itself into everything , but we all know its NOT Qataris that enter the world stage but meaningless mercenaries that will be forgotten, like Qatar itself....

Brazil is 6th after 6 games played. They really regressed.

Sampaoli would make a very good coach for Qatar, really hope he doesn't join these human rights breaking A-holes.

Australia is really weak in the build-ups.
