  1. Boycott The Qatar World Cup?

    I was originally planning a visit to Qatar. I had tickets to a few games. However, I did a bit of a research about all the controversy surrounding this World Cup. I read content from international human rights organisations and articles in local Nepalese media (I absolutely love Nepal, having...
  2. Rioting Erupts in Europe

    I live in Amsterdam. Didn’t notice anything until I saw some posts from friends living in Nieuwe West. This part of the city has a large Moroccan population. It was definitely a localized incident.
  3. Qatar WC | Fans and Atmosphere Watch

    So it is accessible for people already living there. I am curious how is it more accessible for traveling fans. People raised the issue of visa in previous posts which was not a problem for Russia.
  4. Qatar WC | Fans and Atmosphere Watch

    Why is this World Cup more accessible than Russia? The distance is similar from South Asia. Russia scrapped all visa requirements for the World Cup.
  5. Qatar WC | Fans and Atmosphere Watch

    This is a temporary problem caused by staff shortages due to covid. Even in Amsterdam, the waiting time for a US visa appointment is ~6 months. In general, obtaining a US / UK / Schengen visa is not that hard especially for people who can afford to go to Qatar for this World Cup.
  6. Unpopular opinion: Ronaldo will be a huge miss

    This data doesn't tell you anything. Ibra scored 17 goals in 28 games in his first season here. However, you are counting only the goals he scored after turning 35. If Ronaldo scores 13 goals before turning 37 and 9 afterwards then he won't break these records but still have a successful season.
  7. Euro 2020 Tickets

    Applied for a couple of matches in Amsterdam and the final. Got nothing.
  8. Post match vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

    Do you know that they conceded 4 goals against a relegation candidate last night?
  9. Champions League QF Draw | Manchester United v Barcelona

    Ajax please. Will definitely go to the game.
  10. Jesse Lingard Players' Tribune piece

    I was in Russia last summer. A guy working at the counter of a FIFA store was showing every customer something on his phone. He couldn't stop smiling. When it was my turn to pay, he showed me his phone too. It was a clip of him with Lingard and Rashford doing some kind of funny step. He ran into...

    Tickets are available for this game on the official website.
  12. All ticket/travel information thread - 2019/20 edition - Touting will not be tolerated on the site

    I am planning to visit Old Trafford for the first time. I have official membership. Tickets for several matches are available on the official website. However, I am getting this error "We cannot complete your purchase online, to complete your purchase please call (+44) 161 868 8000 or email...
  13. Had Van Gaal stayed... Would he have fared any worse than this?

    There is no reason to believe that Van Gaal would have done better. He was here for two seasons when Premier League was weak especially in 2015-16. A decent manager would have had us in the title race that season. He sold a number of useful players and spent a lot of money to buy players of...
  14. La Liga sign 15-year deal to have games played in the US

    Hope Premier League doesn't take this route. I don't really mind money in Football and understand that it is business but this is a step too far. Football is not the same without the local support. There are plenty of other ways to earn money.
  15. Cristiano Ronaldo : The Juventus Chapter | Fin

    I don't know about China but Ronaldo is definitely more popular in India than Jordan. Beckham is on a different level though.
