Re: World Cup Draw Friday 1st April 2022
Look beyond the group stages and it’s not a good draw.
First knock out match likely to be against Senegal - the best side in Africa.
Win that and it’s a quarter final v the holders France.
I think that could be the end of the road. 10th December and I will then focus on Christmas

The World Slavery Cup. The moment when FIFA stopped even pretending and just said "yeah we are fucking corrupt as fuck haha fuck you" and had a big old gangwànk on a bed made of money.
I wonder how many "woke" PL players will wear their rainbow laces to those games huh? Pack of hypocritical cùnts. Maybe take both knees in sympathy and empathy with the innocent women that have been beheaded like that? Hmm? No? Huh? Too far?

Not even close mate.
What about the Migrant Workers that were "employed' ( ) to do all the manual work, the same workers whose wages were withheld if they dared complain about the hovels they were put in when not working 18 Hour Days; 7 days a week in temperatures soaring as high as 106 F.
And then told the Holiday Time they had accumulated could not be taken until their particular jobs were completed... AND if they dared speak to the press they would be summarily dismissed and the cost of sending them back home would be deducted from any wages they Might be owed.
What about the Families of the Six Thousand Five Hundred Migrant Workers who lost their lives (Killed) due to poor or Non-existent Health & Safety Rules that were never put in place. Their families were required to Pay for the bodies of the dead migrant workers to be shipped back home; thus nullifying the expected 'end of contract' monies / wages due to be paid to them by up to 80% deductions.

Then of course there's the other suppressed information regarding the actual number of Injured Migrant Workers and how those injuries came about....
These C¨NTS in Qatar:
"Qatar is a constitutional monarchy headed by Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al- Thani. The population is approximately 1.7 million, of whom approximately 225,000 are citizens. The emir exercises full executive power. The 2005 constitution provides for hereditary rule by the emir's male branch of the al-Thani family."
deserve beheading .
BBC:
"Qatar was accused of paying Fifa officials £3m ($3.7m) in bribes to secure their backing, but was cleared after a two-year investigation. At the time, Fifa's then-chairman, Sepp Blatter, supported Qatar's bid"
https://frontofficesports.com/the-most- ... n-history/
In 2010, FIFA announced that the world’s largest football spectacle would grace Middle Eastern soil for the first time. Since then, the 2022 World Cup has been mired in controversy.
From bribery allegations and human rights abuses to budgetary concerns, the tournament has prompted many to criticize FIFA for rewarding problematic behavior.
Qatar characterized its bid to FIFA as a “bold gamble” to bring world football to the Gulf nation, but that gamble was underwritten by an estimated $200 billion-plus infrastructure package that, at the time, was deemed vital to national interest and foreign policy objectives.
A bit earlier, in 2008, Qatar had announced its Qatar National Vision project, which aimed to build the country into an “advanced society capable of sustaining its development and providing a high standard of living for its people.” One of the main foundations for this future would be sports.
From there, the country made successful bids to host both the 2011 AFC Asian Cup and Arab Games. It also made its presence felt in European football. Qatar Airways paid $163 million to sponsor FC Barcelona’s kits in 2010, and direct investments in Paris Saint-Germain through the Qatari Travel Authority totaled over $1.08 billion.
However, once the dust settled around Qatar’s World Cup bid, allegations of financial foul play followed soon thereafter.
2011: Former FIFA VP Jack Warner made public emails that claimed Qatar (specifically AFC President Mohamed Bin Hammam) had “bought” the rights to win the bid.
2014: The Sunday Times reported that Mohamed Bin Hammam made payments totaling $5 million to football officials in return for their support for the Qatar bid.
2019: The Sunday Times reported that FIFA would receive an alleged $880 million in two installment payments from Al Jazeera pending a successful bid.
2020: The U.S. Department of Justice formally accused three South American officials of receiving bribes to ensure votes for Qatar.
Qatari officials have denied any wrongdoing since the bid was won.
In 2014, FIFA, then run by Sepp Blatter, cleared Qatar of the alleged wrongdoings. But in 2015, Blatter resigned from his position amid a formal criminal investigation by Swiss officials into the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bids.
The Buildout
When a nation wins a bid to host a major sporting event like the Olympics or World Cup, cost is almost always an issue. This applies to situations where there’s significant existing infrastructure, and even more so when a substantial buildout is required.
Here’s what World Cup costs have looked like since the U.S. hosted in 1994:
United States 1994: $500 million
France 1998: $2.3 billion
Japan 2002: $7 billion
Germany 2006: $4.3 billion
South Africa 2010: $3.6 billion
Brazil 2014: $15 billion
Russia 2018: $11.6 billion
Qatar 2022: $220 billion
nuff sed (for now).

World Cup 2022: Awarding Qatar the tournament was a mistake, says former Fifa president Sepp Blatter
Former Fifa president Sepp Blatter says the decision to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar was a "mistake".
Blatter, 86, was president of world football's governing body when Qatar was awarded the tournament in 2010.
The Gulf state has been criticised for its stance on same-sex relationships, human rights record and treatment of migrant workers.
Blatter said he was "right" to have said at the time that the tournament "should not go" to Qatar for 2022.
The Swiss was speaking on upcoming BBC Radio 5 Live podcast series Power Play - The House of Sepp Blatter about the decision to award Qatar the World Cup.

Why are people protesting about the World Cup host?
In an interview with Swiss newspaper Tages Anzeiger, Blatter added Qatar is "too small of a country" to host the tournament and that "football and the World Cup are too big for it".
The Qatar World Cup, the first to be hosted in the Middle East in the tournament's 92-year-history and the first during the Northern Hemisphere winter, takes place from 20 November to 18 December.
Fifa's executive committee voted 14-8 for Qatar to host the tournament ahead of the United States 12 years ago, at the same time Russia was awarded the 2018 event.
Blatter says he voted for the United States and blames then-Uefa president Michel Platini for swinging the vote in Qatar's favour.
"It was a bad choice and I was responsible for that as president at the time," he said.
"Thanks to the four votes of Platini and his [Uefa] team, the World Cup went to Qatar rather than the United States. It's the truth."
Blatter also said Fifa had adjusted the criteria used to select host countries in 2012 after concerns were raised about the treatment of migrant workers building World Cup stadiums in Qatar.
"Since then, social considerations and human rights are taken into account," he added.

England forward Beth Mead says holding World Cup in Qatar is 'disappointing'
Blatter spent 17 years as Fifa president but was forced to step down in 2015 over allegations he unlawfully arranged a transfer of two million Swiss francs ($2.19m; £1.6m) to Platini, who was also forced to resign from his position at Fifa.
He was originally banned from football by Fifa for eight years, later reduced to six, over the Platini payment. In March 2021 he then received an additional ban until 2028 for "various violations" of Fifa's code of ethics.
Blatter and Platini were charged with fraud last November but were found not guilty at a trial in Switzerland in July.
The decision to award the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar respectively has been dogged by accusations of widespread corruption, with two investigations launched by Swiss prosecutors and the US Department of Justice in 2015.
Qatar and Russia have always denied any wrongdoing, and both were effectively cleared by Fifa's own investigation in 2017.
How to follow the Fifa World Cup on the BBC
Fifa recently wrote to competing nations asking them to "now focus on the football" instead of the competition's controversial build-up.
The Fifa letter was criticised by Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and LGBTQ+ campaigners in England and Wales, while 10 European football associations - including those of England and Wales - said "human rights are universal and apply everywhere".
There is concern about how LGBTQ+ people are treated in Qatar, where same-sex relationships and the promotion of same-sex relationships are criminalised, with punishments ranging from fines to the death sentence.
Amnesty International says that since 2010, hundreds of thousands of migrant workers have faced human rights abuses while employed to build wider infrastructure necessary to host the tournament.
Peaceful protests have been planned by some players, while England's Harry Kane and nine other captains of European teams will be wearing 'One Love' armbands. to promote diversity and inclusion.
Denmark will wear "toned-down" shirts to protest against Qatar, with kit provider Hummel saying it "does not wish to be visible" in a tournament it claims "has cost thousands of lives", while Australia's squad have released a video urging Qatar to abolish its laws on same-sex relationships.
BBC Sport has contacted Fifa and the World Cup organising committee for comment.
