I think people are specifically outraged about the migrant worker deaths and modern day slavery and less the bribery at the minutes. If you've got evidence of German slave labor (specific to 2006 obviously) I'm all ears.
I'm not saying the corruption is good and it is fairly obvious that it has been the name of the game for awhile (fwiw I can see Germany, Brazil, South Africa and even Qatar potentially winning cleanly even if they didn't, Russia not so much) but that's not what anyone is on about currently.
I would add the lack of infrastructure, the heat, the complete disruption to the global footballing calendar...

Yes, although these things are not the focus of the German team spelling out "Human Rights."
My take is all of those things would have been fair if they had disclosed them in the bid and still won (fairly). But they didn't, all of that came later and that isn't on for me.
It's it just me that thinks all these World Cup "protests" are incredibly hollow? It's basically national teams pretending to care whilst playing qualifiers for a tournament they pretend to be mad about.

Must admit I've been enjoying watching the World Cup qualifiers these past few days. Meaningful international footie is a good spectacle, just wish they'd scrap pointless friendlies.
Great to see fans in Amsterdam for this Netherlands v Latvia game too.

Agree. They want to be seen to be doing something without compromising trying to go to the tournament to play in front of the regime they're protesting
Watching the Dutch. Klaasen missing many many chances. Sone good keeping and bad luck to be fair.

Yes England vs San Marino was only football in name only. International football qualifying especially for England has in effect become friendlies but by another name. In recent qualifying tournaments England have strolled through every time almost eyes closed.
At least the nations league and premier friendlies match you with quality opponents, qualifying is the same only with far inferior or even pathetic opponents.
Another one tonight with The Rep of Ireland playing Luxembourg and the Irish have managed to keep it nil nil for the first half hour.

I don't care about the English national football team mate. When I was saying I've enjoyed the World cup qualifiers, that was in reference to pretty much any team bar England.

I must admit I don't care for England's qualifiers either, attack vs defence and no competition. It's always a foregone conclusion they win the group and go through.
Prefer the nations league when matched against Europe's best and they can see how they rate.
