    The Left (EU) did this racist video where they get facts wrong and say Qatar shouldn’t build tramlines. https://youtu.be/KpjJM9mzg5Y
    Absolutely plenty of valid criticisms of Qatars, such as labour protection failings which they mention in the video but somehow don’t see as the primary issue (I guess brown labourers are only marginally pity-worthy), but to pretend they’re somehow uniquely bad in a line-up that includes the USA is ridiculous.

      Perhaps Angloids should have kept in mind the ramifications that propping up Wahhabi client states in the area would have in the future… just another example of a complete lack of historical memory, we cause the problem and then denounce the puppets we set up. That same “extremist Islamism” was perfectly acceptable for the West when they were aiding in the slaughter of Iraqi socialists and secularist pan-Arab revolutionaries.

      The recent Netflix documentary did something similar. Valid criticisms of FIFA and Qatar, but they were very obviously trying to promote the idea that the WC should be held in Britain or the USA instead.

        If any world cup deserves to be boycott, it’s the next one. Easy to send a clear signal too if people still attend the Mexico games but not the USA and Canada ones.
