Swiss media also reporting today that FIFA has been sued in multiple countries at once, for âclimatic greenwashingâ

He really isnât helping the situation.
Seems to me much less hype about this World Cup than any other. Could all change when it starts but I expect viewing figures to significantly down and I think thatâs mostly down to the time of year and not meeting peopleâs association with summer time, good times and the World Cup. Moral argument aside I think FIFA have shot themselves in the foot by watering down their own brand and will live to regret it.

I wonder if the Qataries are doing this policy for each World Cup countryâs fans, to give a supposedly good impression at the World Cup.
I can see some sneaky protests rippling through and Qataries getting embarrassed at some point.

They have targetted fans from every country who are attending.People will need to be very careful as these fans groups are being asked to inform/report on other fans if they do or say something which Qatar might find offensive or perhaps want to make an example of to show the world they are intolerant of certain things.God knows what punishment Qatar could dish out in order to seem progressive to the world.

That English guy doing it was fucking stupid to allow his name/photo/identifying role to be published.
You can guarantee some pissed up wanker will take great joy in sticking that trumpet somewhere painful

In a way it is a shame some of my mates arenât going this time around.
They would be the sort that would take the piss and lead the singing of Itâs Raining Men, I Want To Break Free or YMCA just to stir up shit

Alphonso Davies is a doubt for the World Cup
I think viewing figures will be up in this half of the world. Given the dark nights of winter. Doesnât make it right. Iâd love to do the moral thing and boycott but know Iâll get sucked in #shame
