Saudi Arabia to be announced today as the host of the 2034 World Cup
⚽️ Saudi Arabia set to be announced today as tournament host for 2034 World Cup ⚽️ 💭 Good, bad, indifferent: thoughts please 💭
Boycotted the Qatar WC, will probably skip the 2034 too. FIFA have really become shameless after Infantino took over. Not sure if anything will ever be done about it though.
Same here, none of my money for that shit. But to be honest, FIFA have been shite forever. Just one example: they ran a worldcup in Argentina when it was ruled by a fascist junta that took power in a coup and tortured and killed lots of people. FIFA didn't care one bit then, why would they care now.
I'm not old enough to remember that time, but during the Blatter era they at least pretended to care. Nowadays it feels like Infantino does whatever he want without a care.
I wanted to boycott the Qatar WC, but I still watched a few of my country's game. It's hard to miss this kind of events.
Yeah, no judgement on my part. I still watched the highlights that was posted on reddit, but didn't engage beyond that.
Yeah, Scotland did me a favour by not qualifying, making it much easier to resist watching.
Presumably they had similar moral objections to the hosts of 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018... That must be it, right? 😞
We all saw this coming after Qatar. FIFA suits only care about money. Where’s 2038? North Korea? Iran? back to Russia?
The 2038 WC to be hosted by Elon Musk. He will bully and pester MLS into using their biggest stadiums for free, keep exclusive streaming rights for Xitter, force all teams to use cyber trucks, and imprison the media in storage containers in the middle of the Texas wilderness, and constantly moan about how it's a terrible sport. But because he'll throw a shit load of money at FIFA, they will gleefully accept all terms.
Frankly, this isn't as bad as the deal with Qatar was
This probrably wouldn't be much of a discussion of those fuck heads didn't pick Qatar
2026 should've been Morocco
2030 is undecided yet
2034, those who stand out for me is Thailand, Indonesia, Oceania and Saudi Arabia but due to Australia seems like Arabia came first
This might mean that 2038 will be conducted in Australia
Not much of a discussion? Then you should do some research about Saudi Arabia’s human rights violations. Don’t let the sports washing get into your head.
