You are right. If anyone is really want to boycott, go all the way. Tell Denmark if they still are going to the world cup, then they will pull all sponsorship. By announcing their moral higher ground, they actually have advertise themselves more than a logo on a jersey would. If only boycotts by commercial brands are sincere, please. Human rights abuse should be stamped out and called out but I donât see these commercial brands doing any good, if any, I am sure Hummel are hoping to generate more money ever with their âprotestâ.

To me this is all disgusting. Whether itâs Qatar or these nations or brands who use these abuses like a poster child to show off how ethical and moral they all and implementing half past 6 actions and do fuck all. If you really condemn Qatar, there is really only one meaningful action, donât sponsor donât go or else all the niceties are just fancy words from a platform of privilege.

Agree with your stance. I for one wonât watch a minute of this tournament and will swerve everything linked with it.
However, Denmarkâs action is at least something. While a half-measure, itâs still probably better than doing nothing at all I suppose, like all other qualified nations?
Have anyone noticed how US and EU have been cozying up (not to mention the fact that they were always cozy) with Saudi & UAE in recent weeks? More than half the world (or is it more than that) is dependent on Arab oil/gas. Itâs delusional to think there should have been any practical measures against Qatar. So, all thereâs left to do is some mockery of protests.
Also, whereâs the rage against FIFA???
There should be rage against FIFA, the ultimate rage.
They facilitated this crap, allowed domestic football to be fucked over and awarded their biggest prize to a nation with huge human rights violations.
They facilitated this.

Alisson has pretty much started more often than not since the Copa America (probably something to do with Taff being involved at club and national level).
Itâs how far teams go, Uruguay could certainly be home early but youâd expect Brazil, Portugal and others to go further.
For us itâs mainly Brazil.
Need to boycott the entire gutter enterprise. Abu Dhabi and Saudi royal families too. Lock them all up if they visit, if they protest send them home in a carpet.

Come on guys, less of the politics and more about the tournamentâŚwe have other threads for that, use them.
Was hoping to come in here and see people debating over who Iranâs key threats were & which players from the opening game people were excited to see, instead I get Russia v Ukraine and what is deemed legal/illegal in said countryâŚweâre going there to participate in the most historical sporting event in the world, nothing more.
Obvious troll is obvious. But fuck off anyway.
I would be so upset were something to happen to the FIFA and hydrocarbon scum as they witness their âspectacleâ.

Hummel protesting against the World Cup in Qatar by hiding all the details on Denmarks kits.
Puma protesting by designing the ugliest kits ever.
Kyle Walker apparently a doubt for the WC with his surgery.
Weâll see what that means for TrentâŚ
The one with the no loud music symbol, does this mean we canât play songs like Bohemian Raphsody and Freedom by George Michael? Asking for a friend. Maybe we can get an exemption.
I am understanding the religious and cultural sensitivities of the country, i mean I lived and work there, but the music one baffles me. I always used to hear music in the local souks (market places) over there

Yep, or having any ringtones by Crazy Frog.
What I want to know is for the no drinking alcohol, do we know when the commence date would be? I.e before or after landing in DohaâŚ
Briiliant film Zoranđ Doha is unrecognisable since i left that place, apart from the pyramid Sheraton hotel. When i was there, there were no buildings for miles apart from the hotel.
With regards to alcohol, the drinks will be available in dedicated fan zones and all hotels serve them.
Qataris are generally very welcoming and friendly people. The project manager spoke very explaining Qatarâs welcoming gesture, but that guests need to be respectful of the countryâs cultural and religious sensitivities.
Edit.
Fuck Gutter. A disgusting plastic authoritarian shit hole which should be returned to desert and its sheiks can return to being camel herders and breeders.
Gary Neville gave a very balanced view of Qatar and addressed his concerns, but I kind of agree with Gary (God help me), you sometimes have to work with Qatar to instigate change within, even though it will take a long time.
They have a Womenâs National team which is progress in my view.
