The World Cup 2022 Thread

Weeks and weeks without real footy. **** this international circus ****!

Steven Gerrard has become a brand ambassador for the Qatar world cup. He is to be the official Qatar 2022 brand ambassador for M88 Mansion. Doing his bit to help present the clean face of Qatar.

I'm sure he is just like Gary Neville, another hero going over there to highlight issues and not simply lining his own pockets like all the other thick greedy cunts.




Do find it hilarious that so many beer and betting companies are the "brands" of a world cup based in Qatar.

Not watching a single minute of it. I think you either make your point or not. No in-between.

Just not arsed with international football at the best of times but throw that in with where it's being held and I've no interest at all.

I hope the viewing figures for this WC are an all time low as if there's changes to be made it's by hitting the likes of FIFA in the pocket and the tv revenue money will be where it hurts the most!

We flew Qatar Airways to Dubai years ago. The first 60 pages of the in-flight magazine had women in bikinis. That's every page, whether it be advertising perfume or booze. They're fine with it as long as it's making money

i might watch a little, but there's no way i'll be watching it without stealing it.

i know they aren't being altruistic, but i really wish the rest of the world was that ok with harmless things they disagree with.

Yep same with the really rich there and in places like the UAE and Saudi.

They will drink, do drugs, gamble, screw around and basically do the stuff that ordinary folk there would get into serious trouble for doing.


Do as I say, not as I do.

There's only 1 beer and that's Budweiser and it'll cost you £12 for just under a pint if you want a pint at a game

Plus I might start a thread on here about that time for fellow agitators to skulk about in and from which to arrange mass hijacks of WC threads. Hope you footy watchers enjoy lots of chat about tea, brekkie rolls, tourist spots in Ireland, cats, whiskey, music, politics, shower gels, beard oil and carrots

I love a good Darjeeling, they are call batches or baps, not rolls, I've been to the 'very very dark caves', last week I seriously started to consider adopting one of the kittens the Cat Cafe in Stratford Upon Avon are looking to re-home. The rest I can take or leave. Actually, despite the rumours I do not take carrots.

As brutal a regime as Qatar is I think I could be convinced in the merits of beheading for people who pay £12 for a Budweiser.

I would like to repeat that I will have nothing to do with the World Cup this year. It will be as big a non-event as our last CL final showing. It just didn't happen.
