Apparently there’s an issue with tickets through the FIFA app. Heard someone on Twitter say it and now BBC have just said it
Propaganda to me implies some form of government involvement. This seems to be an independent video.So you found a propaganda video that's deliberately obtuse on a lot of issues.
Do you though slevs? Do you have deserts and camels in the Leb?I'd rather give them the benefit of the doubt, some people are just ignorant (with no malice).
Hell, I'm from Lebanon and I still get asked online if we have deserts and camels where I live.
Mistaking people who look similar isn't racism, unless you add extra stuff to it, like certain adjectives.If people had actually gone as far as leaving their towns they wouldn't react this way! There's been a lot of racism this world cup under the banner of "morals". Random locals are being talked of as if they are the freaking Saudi Royal family or something. What the feck do they have to do with it?
The point is this video is more than a year old and nothing to do with QatarSuch a party pooper mentality man
I hope it's solid, cheeky stuff like this is essential in terms of fan culture
I didn't check, but flying from Dakar to basically anywhere in Europe is certainly shorter then from Dakar to Qatar?It's really incredible that you'd have literally 30-50% of stadium empty already at day 2, fantastic fixture of Senegal-Netherlands and still so many free seats. Proves how much bullshit there was in "this is the most accessible WC for African fans" - the proximity doesn't really help if there is no accommodation and pretty much everyone but very rich is outpriced anyway. Sad.
Actually the more serious claim was that it was the most accessible for South Asian and Middle Eastern fans. Why would this be more accessible for Africans than South Africa?It's really incredible that you'd have literally 30-50% of stadium empty already at day 2, fantastic fixture of Senegal-Netherlands and still so many free seats.

A few seemed to mention that it would be super accessible as Africans (and other nationalities) can allegedly easily get visas for Qatar. But yes, I agree with your logic rather than theirs.Actually the more serious claim was that it was most accessible for South Asian and Middle Eastern fans.

The visa thing is neither here nor there, because at this WC if you have a ticket, you have a visa. I was more talking about distance.A few seemed to mention that it would be super accessible as Africans (and other nationalities) can allegedly easily get visas for Qatar.

Some of the games in Mexico 86 were played in half empty stadiums. No one mentions that!People are going overboard, its not half empty. More like 15-20%
Imagine the 48 team world cup in 2026!Some of the games in Mexico 86 were played in half empty stadiums. No one mentions that!
Travel was a bit harder back then.Some of the games in Mexico 86 were played in half empty stadiums. No one mentions that!
Probably given away tickets to sponsors and locals who haven't turned up, it is sold out though as you have to go through a reseller now to get tickets.If they sold 93% of tickets (and they are), then where that tickets went?
Every Mexico game will be sold out. Travelling is much easier now and more locals have the money now.Imagine the 48 team world cup in 2026!
In all fairness I would rather silence than those fecking vuvuzelasThe atmosphere at games have been terrible so far, just doesn't feel like a world cup. I thought the vuvuzelas were bad but this is worse
Is that confirmed?Imagine the 48 team world cup in 2026!
They obviously graduated from the Manchester City School of Mathematics.Those attendance stats
It seems so yesIs that confirmed?
Most of it is around human rights, that's a harsh take.Several other threads for these discussions and I've given my opinion in most of them so I can't be arsed to go off topic here
But while I don't agree with everything, I feel the video makes several valid points and good to hear some alternate opinions from the barrage of negativity on here
Nice of them to fly in some City fans for the game and dress them up as different coloured seats.They obviously graduated from the Manchester City School of Mathematics.

She's lucky that she didn't try that in a European stadium, where she probably would have been throttled to within an inch of her life.Did anybody notice during the England game. When one of the goals was scored they panned to an female English fan celebrating the goal, nothing outrageous. A steward politely told her to sit down.
Don't forget "Football is so popular in Kerala they beat each other up about South American rivalries, Indians will fill all the seats", or something like that...It's really incredible that you'd have literally 30-50% of stadium empty already at day 2, fantastic fixture of Senegal-Netherlands and still so many free seats.

Do they class clapping your hands in delight as offensive?She's lucky that she didn't try that in a European stadium, she probably would have been throttled to within an inch of her life.
