I've never saw a picture that so accurately captures the spirit of Brexit before. Real life orcs.

Infantino on a bit of rant this morning probably because the whole thing will be a shit show. Some of his takes are quite interesting.

I'm sure a rich white man saying "Today I feel Qatari, I feel Arab, I feel African, I feel gay, I feel disabled, I feel a migrant worker" will go down well.

I've worked a few events in Doha in a past life. Deserts are indeed quite hot.
I've also worked in shipping container like portacabins similar to the ones in the fan village in hot countries.
Unless they've got an industrial grade, super powerful AC unit for each one there's no chance they'll stay at a reasonable temperature.
I worked in one in a TV compound in Melbourne for 3wks during the summer. We'd keep the AC on max more or less 24/7, yet it would routinely hit 30C (the max temp the unit displayed) at around 10:30am and then not drop below that until about 8pm.
Any portable AC that's even vaguely up to the job will also be seriously loud. All the hot air has to be vented somewhere as well so the area around the cabins will be nice and toasty.
Honestly, you couldn't pay me to go and sleep in one of those things in the desert. It will be misery and I suspect they'll be a ton of complaints and even a few dead fans with heatstroke.

captbirdseye monkman5000 The fact he's still trying to justify this fucking charade is inexcusable! Just admit this was a mistake, but the money was too much to refuse; it would be received better...

There's a TikTok video I can't link to which shows the air-conditioning units. They're bog standard and don't have enough grunt to cool the room during the day and too loud to use at night. The fan zone is rows of brown chairs with zero protection from the sun. At £180 a night.

He seems to be one of these people who thinks that westerners should pay for their ancestor's mistakes from now until forever, despite westerners not being alive at the time. If his point is that Qatar is still a country progressing through the dark ages, then so be it, but I don't know why he thinks that somehow entitles them to host the World Cup.

He's just as big a crook and moral vacuum as Blatter, FIFA needs to die.

Love how two people I really fucking hated in 1999 are being exposed as money taking hypocritical twats now. It all comes out in the wash fuckheads Also enjoyed Gabby Agbonlahor exposing DB for the true cunt he is the other day Wouldn’t take anything he says as gospel. Talk Sport’s model now is to get bitter failed ex players to troll. GA, O’Hara, Wilshere, Trevor Sinclair etc. Absolute shower of cunts paid to win up opposition fans.

I'm surprised anyone would even bother watching or listening to Agbonlahor or any of the TalkSport bitter players.

That’s not fair.
Some of them are bitter ex-managers too

Yeah ok.

I used to listen to talksport pretty much all day until the sun bought it. Bit by bit it just became unbearable but replacing Colin Murray with Jim White completely removed that entire segment from the day. He’s bad enough but he got some proper arseholes in as his backup dancers.

I'm pretty sure that's the weird cunt who has Portsmouth football club as part of his name.
Think so... they've even got a wikipedia page.

There was a Portsmouth Fan at our Uni. Dont know who it was but literally everywhere you went, the same person had written PUPPPU on something. Desk, chairs, phonebox, tables in the union, textbooks...
I wonder if they are all twats?

Well, at least the fan zones and accommodation are looking lit af, as the kids say. Like the look of that bedroom fan, looks like a robust industrial piece of kit:

Admit it: the rogue capitalisation on that 'Again' is triggering you far more than any human rights abuses!

I see these posts and every time I'm shocked at the disastrous organisation.
Hard to say whether it's incompetence, indifference or corruption. A combination of all three I assume, I can't see how this is going to be anything other than a complete train wreck.
