The Official FIFA World Cup Thread - QATAR 2022

This is how we got here why change now

Because you're not playing Honduras and Panama.

Qatar does not have a (moral) "right" to bid for the competition under FALSE PRETENSES I think is the point.

If they were upfront about their intentions and they were accepted, the bulk of "blame"/ire would be apportioned elsewhere at this point.

They did abandon their ideals when they hid their intentions and/or broke a contract. Insisting that they stick to their word is helping them keep their ideals.

The ultimate expression of their ideals would be to be consistent with all of their ideals at this (self inflicted) impasse but that seems to be already ruled out by you and them. Cos money and image are more important than ideals (even to the most pious it seems).

That's still on FIFA to take it or not. At some point someone could have easily said. "No, I'm good."

But back to the football, I didn't expect Costa Rica to be THAT bad. I'm not saying Spain is without talent, but that was gross. Iran in the middle of a potential revolution, what's Costa Rica's excuse?

Also, I told a homie this was the group of death and he laughed at me. Bundesliga really developing some good Japanese talent and Germany is grossly overrated this year.

fukk happened in that Germany game

Japan hung on for 70-ish minutes, then proved they had fresher legs and countered Germany to hell.

Davies playing as a 10 had nothing to do with why we lost this game lol...

man as a belgian I was rooting for canada but y'all was shooting with 2 left feet

then I hear you won 17 qualification matches and I'm like

Half those games against islands with populations smaller than downtown Toronto breh. But we did beat USA, Mexico etc as well

Kamal Miller was impressive today and Kone looked very confident on the ball for a 20 year old. Montreal's gonna make some bank after this World Cuo.
