Having performed consulting work in the region I can speak from my experience that in their view there are Arabs, royal Arabs, and kaffir they barely tolerate.
The condescension is palpable.
It’s not that they’re rude per se, it’s just that you need to realize your place in their nation and culture.
All that - to watch soccer?

I love a happy ending
Hysterical. It couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of folks.
Spoiled babies
Morally, I can understand the rules around alcohol. But I cannot understand the lax attitude about hospitality. Guests are paying a lot of 2022 money to be catered to. If they are not, it will reflect not only on Qatar, but their neighboring countries, too.
I know F1 has held events in the region. But I have not heard of any problems at those events that I am hearing about Qatar and the World Cup.
I have heard and read that Qatar changed many rules on the eve of the event. I will marvel if they don’t face some sort of sanction over this.
Somebody gueue the Simpsons ha ha guy.
Thats what u get for liking ‘succer’ suckers. Lol
Have the game in a 3rd world country and be surprised it’s 3rd world like
I can’t stand the tension in a 1-0 soccer game!
This should teach them to not hold events in Islamic Cult countries—hellish conditions, no alcohol, and oppressive police.
These complaining soccer fans sound like American basketball players who try to smuggle marijuana into Russia and then find out that Russia actually enforces its laws.
Can't wait to hear about the first homosexual soccer fan who tries to get a beer to go with their joint. Triple threat.
They could have traveled to the south side of Chicago for half the price and twice the excitement.....
They needed more slaves to finish it, but too many had already died, and the new slave shipments were overdue because of supply chain issues.
Pay no mind to the jabbed athletes dropping like files after running around a bit>look at the Fans
Stick and ballgames. Soma for the masses while the global elites rob us blind and destroy our liberty. Fans get what they deserve. Maybe they’ll give us soccer balls in the gulag.
Who would even go to that chit hole for any reason. No beer and its 120 degrees in the shade. 😆
“Others are already comparing the 2022 Qatar World Cup to the infamous Fyre Festival.”
My first thought too, except this place looks FAR BETTER than Fyre. I suspect they could get the AC to work during the day if they simply had a some type of shade on top, kind of like a carport, but then they’d have to build it strong enough to handle the wind there.
