I can’t imagine anyone being dumb enough to travel to a desert country where alcohol is banned and pay that much for a room in a shipping container just to watch a soccer game. It was a terrible idea for FIFA to have it in that schithole but it takes an extra level of dumb to go there to see it. If you love soccer that much sit in a pub with a big screen TV and watch it while drinking and cheering to your heart’s content.
It was and is a trerible idea but money to the right people overcame that.
“If you love soccer that much sit in a pub with a big screen TV and watch it while drinking and cheering to your heart’s content.”
Most (or at least many) of the pubs in UK are now closed due to the energy price spike (several hundred percent) due to ‘punishing’ Russia. But if the Brits save up for a few weeks, they can still afford the power to watch the games at home.
