As expected: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...-cup-in-qatar/
Beer and sports may go hand-in-hand in some parts of the world, but not Qatar, where FIFA plans to stage the 2022 World Cup. Officials in the conservative Middle Eastern country announced on Tuesday it would ban the public consumption of alcohol during the tournament, including on streets, public squares and in the stadiums.
“I am personally against the provision of alcohol in stadiums and public places based on our values and our traditions and our culture,” the secretary-general of the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy Al-Thawadi told Arabic newspaper Al-Sharq.

A dumb choice from top to bottom.
Considering FIFA made the Brazilian authorities change the law for the sake of sponsors I'll be impressed if you won't be able to have a cheeky pint during a game.
Still though, **** going to Qatar
I'm all for going to Asia and the Middle East.
But this is not appealing in the slightest.
Fake stadiums with no history. No atmosphere like in the Euros with all the age old French towns.
Who cares
I was told there was plenty of atmosphere in the Euro's, with all the age old French towns.
Gay alcoholicsWho cares
Yeah all down to the cause of all evil, i.e. Religion. What a ridiculous decision that was along with Russia, if ever we needed proof the world is just phucked and corrupt its this, and Donald winning of course.....
One of the countries it's illegal in is America.
Not really the same tho, sure you cannot drink in the street, but there is still a liquor store on every street corner, and one can drink in most if not all sporting events/concerts ect.
By all means have a browse around the desert with your camels.I was told there was plenty of atmosphere in the Euro's, with all the age old French towns.
Is what I meant. There'll be next to no tourist attractions
Give me the cobbled streets of france anyday!.

Don't thank me, I'm just bored at the mo.
If you have to explain your jokes you can sure they won't be funny. Especially when they had such an unpromising start anyway.No atmosphere like in the Euros with all the age old French towns.

That's one World Cup I hope we don't qualify for, the whole thing is a shambles
Scotland have now decided to boycott the finals...
They usually do to be fair

A lot of people type as they talk without thinking that others don't have context!.

Ya, a lot of people think as they walk, but we don't all walk into lamp posts
Now that's a joke.
He's not joking (badly) for a change, just picking up on someones grammar, makes him feel good I suppose. I prefer shit jokes to someone feeling superior to another person myself, especially on a football message board.
Someone's had a bad day
This is there way of doing things and it must be respected. I hate Muslims coming over here and making demands on changing our way of life to match their homelands. I am not going to advocate the western world trying to push them in a direction they don't want to go into.
Alcohol is readily available in Qatar, usually the hotels, it is just not "in your face".
There are strict rules on signing in if you aren't a resident, with your passport etc, and often there is a charge, similar to going to a night club I guess.
Plenty of "lapsed" Muslims also frequent them.
Okay, you cannot tar everyone with the same brush but the authorities are more than happy to serve it up as they are making a fortune.
I'd liken it to prohibition in the 30's in that it goes on... but it costs you!
Personally that's Russia and Qatar I won't be going to when we qualify, probably choose to head off to Spain with some pals and watch us in their bars.
