More fame, respect and fans accross the globe if they had boycotted the World Cup due to the dreadful human rights
slavery abuses ,deaths due to building such stadiums, not forgetting the corrupt nature of how the World Cup was awarded to an awful country such as Qatar.
Disgusting how its now trivialised, sad to see fans ,players ,pundits who have so many other views on social injustices , not get that worked up ..about this one ... and stay involved, even spend money or make money on the event .
Sadly the giants of football Qatar are out,that should re shape World football...
Hypocrisy at its best as 8 billion flows into Qatar pockets .
PS not watched a single game ..

He got a yellow so would have been sent off!Originally Posted by 2b2bdoo
Not sure he would have been sliding in if already on a yellow but always the risk yes.
It's disappointing that fifa left it so late but also quite funny that the FA's bottled it and were bullied by fifa on what is even merely a token gesture. I'd have loved to have seen the captains call their bluff.
In hindsight we wouldn't even had noticed if Bale had been sent off.
Would have made even more of a point. Although we don’t even know if we could have got a yellow.
Leave the politics to the government and football authorities, footballers should be concentrating on football.
Don’t think he got a yellow against Ingurlund .
He got booked against the yanks
Yes that's when he was going to wear the armband, he shouldn't have because at the time we were hopeful we would do a bit better, he would have been sent off as he was booked for nothing as it was.
Players concentrate on football and let the Authorities deal with FIFA and Qatar.
If we leave fifa and uefa and the rest of the football authorities to do something about crucial matters then you may as well forget it as they won't do anything
That’s not what I said though.
Remind me why Qatar is such an awful country?
Yeah didn’t he only touch the ball 7 times v England or was that media guff
I get what your saying however you can imagine the uproar here if we hadn't participated on the world stage after trying to qualify for so long? Fans would be in even more despair than the dismal football we played. Yes Qatar and FIFA are corrupt as hell, the whole thing stinks but from a fan perspective we don't want to get involved in the politics, we just want to see the football.
In 3 weeks time it'll all be over, hopefully the Qatar government has learnt a thing or two, sadly it probably hasn't and they will continue in their beliefs and traditions. But that is their right, they are their own independent nation and our western values don't have to be accepted in other countries as much as we'd like to see change.
It should never have been held there in the first place so hopefully FIFA don't start looking at saudi as a potential host in the future.
Don’t know if I’m missing something massive here but I thought the Wales team did boycott playing at the World Cup
Wales did boycott by refusing to play any football. I'm proud of their actions.
100%, didn’t turn up at all out of respect for human rights. Respect.
Yellow label pasta is 28p. 1kg of rice 48p and tin of tomatoes 28p, that’s the base for a few meals, then depending what you can afford add meat, or veg.
That's all very well but should Wales have boycotted?
Ahhhh there it is lol
Its not a bookable offence.
It’s absolutely their right. It’s the hypocrisy that really gets to me. As though we are the bastions of virtue and moral standing.
It’s only 50 years since some of the laws forbidding homosexual acts were removed in this country. As recently as 1998, gay men were prosecuted for group sexual acts. Interesting article here from the guardian:

I went to Qatar. I had an amazing time. There will never be another World Cup where all 32 competing nations exist and live alongside each other for a few weeks in such a relatively small space. Where all stadiums are within a few mile radius. Fabulous experience.
A lot of the stories in the press are absolute horse shit. You can argue the toss over the right of the Qatari’s to host the tournament. The time to take a stance was 12 years ago, though. Nobody did. A coordinated effort from some of the big European countries and fifa would have folded. But they didn’t, and here we are. So let’s get on with things… but please don’t feed me any of that hypocritical virtuous bullshit.
NO! NO! NO!
Leave politics to the people. All of them.
No one cared when Russia had it?
Neither did England (and the rest of the UK) in 1966
