Infantino just announced a 32 team World Club Cup tournament for 2025

 

As if the current four team format wasn’t crap enough. Bunch of clowns.

No doubt it'll be staged in one of the Middle Eastern states at the end of an already arduous season. 

Well Qatar have proven to be great hosts, so why not?

They wasted their money on David Beckham, they should have paid you £150m to promote the WC, Hass 😊

Probably wherever the World Cup will be the following year I would think, so america Mexico and Canada for this one.

so anyone who win a European cup between now and 2025 has to go?

because football is a game for everyone

including gays

you do get that don’t you? It’s absolutely fine to think anti-Qatar means anti-Arab or generally racist because in many cases it does. 

But this is more than ‘if you don’t plan on respecting local customs then don’t go’

I’ve been to Arab countries. And guess what: I respected the local customs and it was fine. It was my choice to go 

That’s not the same as a football tournament. We don’t get a say where it’s held

but it’s football - the most important thing in the world. The idea that the tournament can be held somewhere where there is an ideological hatred of people just because of who they are, is…. well you know the rest

What percentage of the women’s England team is gay? it certainly ain’t one in ten. How do you think they feel? And these are actual winners of a tournament. 

as the man said, “ We didn’t land on Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock landed on us”

Why the women’s team?  How many of the men’s team are?

The question is where do you draw the line?

the US have terrible women’s rights. 
they have terrible weapons control and continue to allow guns to be readily available. And driving whilst black is still a thing.

there aren’t many impacted by the anti gay sentiment in Qatar. There are millions impacted by the women’s rights, gun control or racism in the US.

yet there won’t be any uproar in 4 years time. 
 

I’ve spoken to a few who went to Qatar. From a football perspective was amazing. Got to see lots of games, everyone was there for football and easy to get around. In the US you could have to fly from Toronto to Mexico City to New York to see your country play. And most cities won’t even know it’s happening. Won’t be anything exciting - will just be absorbed into day to day there. 
 

certainly challenges with Qatar. But nowhere near as bad as been made out and that’s because it was unknown and not a western or footballing country, in my opinion.

dunno, the women’s team came to mind as they’ve actually achieved something

and more of their team are gay than the men’s team

it’s a conscious decision to outlaw homosexuality whilst hosting the WC

that should not be allowed to happen

 

lots of other bad stuff elsewhere too though 

maybe we should stop the WC until it all gets sorted everywhere

How do you know the women’s team has more gay players than the men’s?   

a Lioness told me 

it’s not even close

and that shouldn’t be a surprise

at some point in the future, things will even out but atm it’s as one would expect in a male-dominated sport

You mean “as one would expect in a male-dominated sport that doesn’t have any homosexuals in it”
