Qatar sending 14.6Bil to Franceā€¦ā€œIā€™m paying you with your own moneyā€

Why are we allowing these backwards cunts to not only host the tournament, but to buy clubs? Canā€™t we just say that until they make some progress on human rights and exploitation of the planet they can go and fuck themselves? Itā€™s fucking embarrassing!

The part at the end of the article:

LGBT Qataris arrested and abused, rights group claims

It comes after a Human Rights Watch (HRW) report claimed security forces in Qatar have been arbitrarily arresting and abusing LGBT Qataris recently.

HRW said it had interviewed six LGBT Qataris, including four transgender women, one bisexual woman and one gay man, who reported being detained between 2019 and 2022.

They said they had been detained without charge in an underground prison in Doha and subjected to verbal and physical abuse, including kicking and punching.

One individual said they were held for two months in solitary confinement.

These retarded people arenā€™t only saying bad things, they are also following their words with horrible actions.

Sadio ManƩ with a small injury tonight.

Stuttgart captain and Japan international Wataru Endo had to be stretchered off. Doubt for the WC now

You could say that itā€™s the Endo his World Cup ambitions.

If you were really stupid.

They call him LegEndo in Stuttgart because he scored a late goal on the final matchday last season which saved them from being relegated.

4 goalkeepers? :joy:

Iā€™m assuming these are still provisional. They are usually 23 player squads including 3 keepers so having a fourth in the provisional in case someone gets injured makes sense.

No, itā€™s their final squad.

and 4 forwards :blush:

There are more forwards under ā€˜midfieldersā€™, just depends how they name them.

Just checked. Yes, it is 26 player squads for this now. The youngest keeper is uncapped. Maybe wanted to go for the ride? I can only think that there is an injury concern on one of the others but when was the last time a 3rd choice keeper was called on?

Konate going to the World Cup according to the web.
