How is joking about beheading Islamophobic, on a serious note? I wasn't even thinking about Islam when I said that. I know they still have this penalty in Saudi Arabia...

Oh well, another day another offended person.

I’m amazed the amount of people here who can’t even understand that. Then again, this is the cafe..
I can only imagine it's because the cafe is smothered in non match going fans who don't understand the very obvious risk with being around opposition fans.

Linesman did a great job blocking off the Ecuadorean player there. He was on the pitch at one point.

What has that got to do with Qatar?

You know this isn't in Saudi Arabia though right? You're making a really poor generalisation at best, something more sinister at worst.
The MODS can work out which :drool:

Host nation losing 0-2 against the worst team they’ll face in group stage and defending the score after putting one of the worst performances the World Cup have seen :lol: chuckling at the “fans” leaving the stadium already, looks like this dark horse should be happy if they score one goal :lol:

I agree with all of this. I am deeply against Qatar hosting this World Cup and I'm strongly against their position on LGBT rights and human rights in general. But that definitely doesn't excuse Islamophobia. I strongly recommend using the Report function on any comments that are distasteful and hateful in this way.
It's a tough one for mods.

Some are clear jokes and genuinely funny, most are flogging a dead horse. It's the former that make football discussion worthwhile though.

Loving the Islamophobic 'jokes'. Keep them coming RedCafe.
Feel like this World Cup is going to have the opposite effect of sportswashing where the stench of the Qatari government and their atrocities have made it open season for footballs fans (not the smartest bunch at the best of times) to let fly on regular middle eastern people . All of “them” are fair game now. A couple of home fans getting mad at a wanker of an opposition fan taunting them turns into some scary fan fiction where this dude is going to be jailed/beheaded and his young daughter is going to spend the rest of her life fatherless.

And now you have the overcompensation with the new video:lol:

It's not islamophobic but lumping different countries together is a bit suspect.

Well instead of saying:
''This game is shit'' - like many others are saying, then it's a fair comment.
If you don't want to watch, don't believe in it etc - that's your right.
But don't litter the thread up with "i'm not interested". Well you are interested enough to post.

Ok so I am saying that Qatar is a similar state to Saudi Arabia, and this offensive? gotcha

This makes no sense and it’s outright insulting to the nations that did qualify
It’s insulting that Qatar are in the competition and a storied team (and current European champions) didn’t qualify for a World Cup because their qualifying pool is one of the hardest in the world.

Is it me or that Ecuadorian guy looks petrified?
he’s just realised he’s gone viral and is now being made to do a “we’re all friends here” video. I think the penny dropped it was a pretty dumb move.

I wonder what else continued between the 2 videos

For another thing, why are you "joking" about this sort of thing anyway for goodness sake.
