Average temperatures in the Gulf during the winter months are very, very livable/playable ( I used to live in the UAE). In fact, Im positive itll be milder than the hottest temperatures at Brazil 2014. This isnt the first time professional football will be played in Qatar - they have a domestic league, where plenty of well known players have gone on pre-retirement stints ( Guardiola in the past, Xavi right now to name two). The weather will not be a significant issue.

As far as Qatar's labour situation, yeah its extremely exploitative, but if anything awarding them the World Cup has been a positive catalyst. Some of the changes theyve pledged to enforcing by 2022, as a result of the international scrutiny the WC has caused would've never happened otherwise.

Either way, if you are going to have a World Cup - a truly global competition involving the whole world - you will at some point have to host it in countries with authoritarian political systems. The idea that it should only be hosted in Western Europe and North America is absurd, and goes against the entire point of the tournament.

qatar is not even a footballing nation....it does not have the population advantage of China, India or America....... it does not have necessary infrastructure.......they have nothing to offer the game except ill gotten money.....uruguay, argentina, japan, morocco, australia eould have been much better options

Griezmann, Lloris, Hernandez...are just as much immigrants as those players mentioned but yeah agendas. He's a clown.

exactly, white French are immigrants too
Griezmann is German and Portuguese
Hernandez is Spanish
Lloris is Spanish
Giroud is Italian

I was thinking after watching that Vox video on France's football development that West Africans and North Africans live side by side in the banlieues in Paris,Lyon and Marseilles. I guess they get along fine. The relationship that the North African Buers and West African Noirs are similar to the black and hispanics have in the tri-state area. They live in the same hoods and share the same experience.

They are still playing for the glory of France. It's not different from when african soldiers used to sing in african languages while fighting fo France in Indochina.

Most of them are more french than african.

And most of these kids have a huge superiority complex toward africans from Africans.

No they don't. Are you insane? Have you ever been to Paris? How can they have "superiority complex" when most of their uncles and aunties live in West Africa?

More French than African....LOL You've gotta be fcking kidding me. Most of these kids never experience "French" culture. St. Denis, Barbers, Clichy Sous-Bois, etc are almost 100% African suburbs.

Lalas is a buffoon and offers no real expertise so he likes to make corny jokes instead.

I was rolling at the 'inmates running the asylum' comment about Argentina

 

[galsen]

Lovren just said "I took Liverpool to the CL final"Sounds like Rondo telling the Celtics big 3 he carried them. Yeah he was a part of it but it's not like the side was built off the defence

more like big baby...
