ok true BUT no one forced them to host the competition :hubie:

that would be like me hosting the munich beer festival and then complaining about there being too many socialist germans there.

in other words, sign up to host a western competition you are gonna get western behaviour.

maybe next time be led by your morals and do something else.

or maybe be upfront about "acceptable behaviour" as part of your bid so everyone knows in advance.

Qatar has every right to bid for the competition just like any other nation, FIFA SHOULD have declined them, Qatar was never going to compromise their ideals, to act like they pulled a fast one is false, Fifa knew the deal and yet proceeded.

Yeah, we can be all pissed at Qatar (and we should be) but they have NEVER shirked from their ideals. And for as much as I disagree with those ideals, I can't force them to think/feel other wise.

The fault is on FIFA for thinking they had more juice than the Emir or the Quran. :russ:
I woulda NEVER paid money to go to such a place.

Both can be true. Qatar made decisions a week before the competition because they knew nothing could be done about it. FIFA does the same thing.

Cafodd UDA hanner cyntaf gwych ond roedd eu hail hanner yn...:francis:

Roedd perfformiad Cymru i'r gwrthwyneb llwyr.

Os yw UDA yn wynebu tîm gwell yn chwarae sut chwaraeon nhw yn erbyn Cymru, maen nhw mewn byd o helbul. Serch hynny, ni ddylid diystyru The Yanks. Ond beth ydw i'n ei wybod? Yn ôl rhai, dwi'n gwybod dim am bêl-droed rhyngwladol a dim ond bot ydw i.:beli:

Pam sgwennu'r post yma yn Gymraeg!?:troll:
I swear Welsh is like what Old English was back during Viking times lmao

I’m sure it’s been said a million times already but Fox’s coverage is so fukking bad, this studio show is amateur hour compared to what NBC has for premier league.
