It's a medieval theocratic feudal tyranny. Our conservatives are beating themselves off wishing they could make it happen here.

Grant Wahl also said he was told to delete a picture he took of the World Cup slogan inside the media center.

Why do I feel like the last 10 years have all been about events like the Olympics and WC being a complete sheet-show in the lead up to the actual event. Like it's a comedy pre-show that airs just before the event actually starts, ha ha...

I've been watching that as they released it. Incredibly informative. This World Cup is going to be an absolute disaster. The "accommodations" look straight out of the Fyrefest documentary.

Chalk up another broken promise by the Qataris.

Also, Wales (the US' first opponent on Monday) cancelled their training yesterday due to the intense heat in Qatar.

The intense heat was 84F.

Fair. For the Welsh anything over 60 is the same as the sun crashing into the earth.

Qataris: “I am altering the deal, pray I don’t alter it any further.”

FIFA: “This deal gets worse all the time!”

Maybe this will turn the tide

Slave labor? Meh

abandoned baby? Vaginal inspections for everyone! No biggie

no alcohol? We riot!

I know the rumors of Qatar bribing Ecuador to lose are likely false, but I still won't be surprised when it happens.

Best description of this World Cup is that it’s just like Pablo Escobar paying for players to come play games at his mansion just on a much larger scale.
