So you found a propaganda video that's deliberately obtuse on a lot of issues.

Good oneYou can tell the English ones aren’t real, because they aren’t pissed and throwing white plastic chairs..
Whataboutism perhaps but some valid points made - doesn't look like propoganda to meSo you found a propaganda video that's deliberately obtuse on a lot of issues.
Just some obvious points:Whataboutism perhaps but some valid points made - doesn't look like propoganda to me
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 hereJust some obvious points:
The issue with beer isn't that it's forbidden, but that the position was "it's okay" for 12 or so years and then changed right before the start.
"Lots of foreigners living in the country so what can you do?" - seriously?
"Homosexuality was illegal in England 60 years ago, so it's okay to have the death penalty for it in 2022."
This guy is either a moron or deliberately obtuse.
More fake paid fans. At least these ones seem to have the right skin colour and accents as well.Tweet

This is the general view I'm getting from those actually there, seems like a lot of it was blown out proportion by the media.Tweet

Guy is reliving the Hangover movie.
Poor creature..
This was always going to be the case - ridiculous negativity from media but I'm sure the majority of fans in Qatar will have a good tripThis is the general view I'm getting from those actually there, seems like a lot of it was blown out proportion by the media.
Booze isn't an issue either one you have found a good drinking spot.
That's the problem isn't it? These things tend to be blown out of proportion. Forgetting that even bad places will tend to put up their best face when hosting visitors. Same for South Africa and Russia. On the whole, the fan experience will usually be a positive one.This is the general view I'm getting from those actually there, seems like a lot of it was blown out proportion by the media.

Huh? Everyone tweeting it's from last week.No it's from last year Euros - shouldn't even be posted here
Don't be stupid - where the hell would that many England fans be last week?!Huh? Everyone tweeting it's from last week.
Oh yeah I know it's all a front and I expect nothing to change in Qatar post tournament but the way the media have been reporting the "fan experience" isn't right.That's the problem isn't it?

What are you going to do there for a month? Will it not get rather boring after a week? I was a month in South Africa and Brazil but in both one could spend 3 months easily of course. If I didn't decide to boycott this, I would probably just do semis and final anyway and go to Oman before/after for a week. I did 7 games at both which I found pretty optimal. Obviously there is no travel at Qatar so I suppose 10 games might be fine. Usually it is piss easy to get tickets to any games, probably can find semi tickets for the second match you don't have a ticket yet for a discount.I have a Wales tournament ticket, so all the wales games until they’re out, and then tickets for whoever knocks them out, and so on, until the final
I might see if I can pick up some other tickets while I’m here but not decided which yet.. but probably a good few as I’m here all month
Why is it funny that somebody has a lion as a pet?
I'm gonna work a bit whilst I'm here (remotely). I might visit Bahrain and I have a friend in Kuwait I wanna visit so thats another option.What are you going to do there for a month?

It's proper depressing.Why is it funny that somebody has a lion as a pet?
Though I agree, these owners usually have similar sized enclousures to your local zoo. And though I also dislike zoo's, we've all been to one.Why is it funny that somebody has a lion as a pet?
Ok, sounds good. Enjoy!I'm gonna work a bit whilst I'm here (remotely). I might visit Bahrain and I have a friend in Kuwait I wanna visit so thats another option.
Also I got an air stewardesses number on the flight over so that should hopefully kill a bit of time.. she's lived here for six years and seems to know all the best places to get alcohol, so that was a bit of a result really..
haha yeah you can't ever mention cryptoOk, sounds good. Enjoy!
So you only told her that you have a listed company and omitted crypto, wise.

Yeah, just frustrating to see. I'm not talking about this forum but I've seen so many people go far as making fun of physical features of "Arab looking" people all under the guise of the world cup. How simple is it to understand the people (who are MOSTLY migrants!) are not responsible for this. The players -- a lot of them themselves are migrants!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.
