Tbf they already have a worm for a CEO

Their loss, he could probably dig them out of a hole right now

This is why I sleep in till 11. Don't wanna risk it

All the reports, arrests, and anecdotes point towards corruption. For this WC, and stretching back decades. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, it's just common knowledge at this point. Watch the John Oliver segment on FIFA if you want somewhere to start

I guess the more unfit you are to host it the more you are willing to pay in bribes. But yeah Qatar should've been ruled out straight away. Even if you ignore their record on human rights the original bid was for a summer tournament ffs. In 40C+ heat. 🙈

That's interesting. Do they take the history of workers' rights into account behind the scenes? Because from the outside it seems like they mostly focus on whether the project can be done, rather than how it will actually be achieved

I'm convinced at this point that whenever FIFA have a job opening they just type "scumbag" into LinkedIn and hire the top result

Yeah honestly I'm amazed at the lack of due diligence from FIFA. You can argue facts and figures of deaths and natural causes all you want, but surely you have to look at how a country treats it workers before you hand them a vast infrastructure project like this

Forced labour bad
