Sorry I don't follow. All I know is FIFA is the second worst Sports Organization in the World after the OOC but far worse than #3 NCAA.

What bullshit and skullduggery is FIFA up to this time?

Fifa president Gianni Infantino accuses West of hypocrisy

Quote:
Fifa president Gianni Infantino has accused the West of hypocrisy in its reporting about Qatar's human rights record, on the eve of the World Cup. In an extraordinary monologue at a news conference in Doha, Infantino spoke for nearly an hour and made a passionate defence of Qatar and the tournament...

Infantino... said European nations should apologise for acts committed in their own histories, rather than focussing on migrant workers' issues in Qatar...

In February 2021, the Guardian said 6,500 migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka had died in Qatar since its successful World Cup bid...

Is it because they banned beer at all the games and venues despite being sponsored by Budweiser?

Will there be more or fewer riots amongst international fans without alcohol? Place yer bets

BudZero will be the only beer sold at the 2022 Qatar ... I've never tried it, but I'm betting the 0 is alcohol.
