Qatar doesn't sound as bad anymore
I am no one, but I lost all respect for players after Qatar. They and their fans will walk on dead bodies to any popular event. FIFA just has to lay on the red carpet over the bodies.
2018 Russia, 2022 Qatar, 2026 US(Canda/Mexico), … 2034 Saudi Arabia
It’s not looking good Fifa.
Although it will be kind of funny if the 2026 Canada and Mexico games are packed while no one shows up for the US games.
Not unlikely, the turnout for the Club World Cup which is happening in the US right now has been terrible.
You had PSG, the winner of the champions leage (think football super bowl) take on Athetico (one of the probably top 10 teams on earth), in LA, the second biggest city in the US, and they couldn’t even fill up the stadium 😭.
