I was looking forward to a Super League vs Champions league championship match 😢

@Quetzalcoatlus No worries, there will be enough quality football. Next year you can watch the world championship in high tech stadiums with loads of AC. Where almost 2 people/day died building them.

@Kwek00 Is that next year already?

@Quetzalcoatlus Yeah, during christmastime right? I'm pretty sure its 2022 because the euros have moved up a year because of COVID.

@Quetzalcoatlus FIFA 🤷‍♂️ , It had to be played in the dessert because of some weird reason. 🤑

@Kwek00 Ya I never liked the idea of Qatar but money talks. Good luck affording a ticket to a match $$$$$

@Quetzalcoatlus I'm going to watch the games... because I like watching the world cup. But I would never pay more money then the fee that I give to my provider to watch it on my screen. It's disgusting enough as it is.

If people weren't so tribal when it comes to their teams and if people didn't like watching the game so much as part of entertainment. Then this entire thing would have been ditched years ago. There have been protests against "modern football" for years, everyone knows that their is loads of corruption with brokers, that there is money laundring in the system and that things like what is happening in Qatar is utterly disagracefull. But people love their teams and they like their entertainment so they keep watching.

@Kwek00 It’ll be interesting to watch. I’d like to see how Qatar is going to handle drunk rowdy fans. Wait! Can they even drink?

@Quetzalcoatlus I know from people out here that there are areas where you can just get alcohol... for turism and all. So I can't imagine that won't apply in the stadiums.

I think the worst that can happen is that the AC in one of those stadium fails, then you get 50 degrees or something to play a game of football in. That would be a logistic nightmare if they have to cancel a game because of a mechanical malfunction.
