Qatar have played FIFA like a Stradivarius here, haven't they?

Basically told them everything they wanted to hear in order to get FIFA to sign it off and turn a blind eye to the human rights abuses and now FIFA has rocked up they've basically said "it's our way or the high way" and FIFA have totally buckled like the cowards they are

If they had any balls they'd stand up to them and say "you do this our way or there's no World Cup and we'll just have it in the summer in a country that will play ball and can organise one at short notice"

Ah, but then they'd have to give the money back.

But, seriously, you're spot on.

Yeah! Real Budvar is alright if you're into your pilsners. Reminds me a lot like Becks though, hehe.

Becks and Grolsch (and now Heineken silver ffs!) are all 4%, which is a waste of time in my book/liver. Some of the imported Belgian and German stuff is good but pricey, every now and then B&M get some exotic bottles and cans in which are one offs...

Not available in qatar though, thankfully...

Only 3k England fans expected to travel? Is that accurate? Similar for the Dutch and Danes.

Stadiums will be empty

Welsh fans staying in Doha have struggled to get tickets to the best games on days that Wales aren’t playing.

Lads have been tracking (currently sold out) tickets as they become available on the re-sale portal and they are snapped up before they can add them to their basket.

Just to add further spice to the no ale farce, apparently it will still be available in corporate boxes. £19k anyone ?

So funny isn't it, morals and laws will be relaxed if you're loaded enough, everybody else F U, you're not worthy of us allowing you to enjoy a delicious alcoholic beverage.

American Budweiser is a truly disgusting beer. Hopefully this WC will see them get plenty of criticism.
They'll be dancing in the streets of Czechia where the real Budweiser came from.

Glad we agree. A bottle of Bud beer and a cup of McMud coffee just about sum up the contempt corporate America has for the European palate.

It's a shame because there are some really good craft ales here. I'm in Bristol, Tennessee until the end of the month and will be waiting for our flight home from Atlanta when Wales v England is on.
