Wealthy because of oil, still a third world slave state that won’t even be habitable in 100 years.

I feel like the football gods are writing this script.

Messi vs Ronaldo on the biggest stage in Football. History.

I can make a list of at least 60 journalists at the World Cup that have criticized Qatar and organizers relentlessly. The shirt incident happened nearly two weeks ago by now and he still ended up watching that game wearing the same shirt.

I get why shocked relatives will jump to conclusions, but anyone else trying to claim this was some sort of assasination is out to lunch. Latest word is he collapsed at the game. Is the theory they poisoned him?

Something not quite right no matter what you assume. Either Grant wasn't as healthy as he looked of he was fukked with.

If it happens then I’ll believe football is scripted. Not by football gods, but actual people.

Some of the UCL comebacks we’ve seen and even in the EPL have had me like

But this will take the crown.

Bullshyt. In-game penalties are rare as hell - so far this year there's only been 14 penalties shot in 58 games, and even that number is distorted by the fact that they let Messi shoot a penalty in every game. Since two teams play every match, if your name isn't Messi than your team had less than a 1 in 10 chance of taking a penalty in any one game (11 penalties across 111 non-Argentina team games played).

On top of that, only 1 out of 16 players shoots that in-game penalty. So not only do 90% of the teams not shoot a penalty, but over 90% of the players on any one team aren't going to be the one shooting it even if they do. So if you're a World Cup soccer player there is less than 1 in 100 chance that you'll shoot an in-game penalty at any point in the World Cup.

Yet then you do this totally artificial penalty shootout where most of the players involved would never be picked to shoot the in-game penalty, where they all do it in an artificial atmosphere lined up one after the other, and where the goalie is in sync defending them instead of just getting one in the course of play. There's a reason why success rate in penalty shootouts is significantly lower than success rate in in-game penalties.

NONE of the players kicking penalties for the Netherlands has taken an in-game penalty shot at any point this entire World Cup. Same goes for Brazil in the shootout they lost. Same goes for Japan in the shootout they lost. Morocco hadn't taken a single in-game penalty all World Cup before their shootout, nor had Croatia before they shot 10 of them in shootouts.

It's ridiculous that half the World Cup semifinalists have already been decided based on something that resembles a practice drill more than any actual gameplay.

Stick to sucking off Bron in NBA threads with this long winded bullshyt

Americans can be shockingly ignorant. Qatar is one of the wealthiest countries on earth.

and that's with the inflated population including "immigrants" and "slave workers"..

there are around 300K qataris ONLY making them far richer even than the table indicates.

The fact that they're rich as fukk makes the fact that they act like a third-world country worse, not better.

They're per-capita as wealthy as the USA yet they just now raised raised the minimum wage to $1 an hour. And everyone knows that plenty of their labour force doesn't actually getting paid that.

Their official figures claimed that only 3 laborers died in World Cup construction, yet workers are dying right in front of World Cup teams as we speak. An upper level official admitted the true figure was more like 400-500 deaths, but their immigration figures show ~20,000 migrant laborers have died since construction started so there's a good bet they're still fudging numbers on a huge scale.

Its funny but i think Portugal have a bigger chance of winning this WC than Argentina

they are the most talented squad left with Brazil out and France injured/DD not calling up several players
