You know, he's not wrong. What did they (the fans) expect from having a predominantly Muslim country host the World Cup? Like, d-oi!!

I'm pretty sure they expected them to stick to their contractual obligations.

The country that bribed FIFA to have the cup, murdered hundreds to thousands of indentured workers/slaves, and just tried to bribe another team to lose against them has the moral compass to stick to their contract? I've got some prime swamp land in Florida you may be interested in.

You'd think so, but I guess not. Another example of religion ruining things.

If you think Qatar didn't plan on doing this from the start you're pretty foolish. They wouldn't have gotten the award to host the games if they said no beer, even with the amount of bribes they paid. That's also why Qatar waited so long, until a couple of days before the first game, so no other plans could have been made.

This isn't an issue specific to it being a Muslim country, its the government that is just way on the extreme side.

Dubai is predominantly Muslim and they sell alcohol.
