I'm not really interested in soccer anyway and have always preferred rugby and American football (which, I admit, is rather unusual for a German), but the Qatar World Cup really sets a new low in many ways. Qatar basically bought the World Cup, bribed dozens, if not hundreds of officials, spied on the other applicants and threatened, blackmailed officials so that no one would dare to take the World Cup away from them.
They are a backward country, literally killing workers and ripping of the survivors (not paying them for months, for example).
Not going to watch any of the games - it's the NFL season anyway.
