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.
