Default Shall we boycott World Cup in Qatar -22 ?

Yesterday and the week before I followed a discussion on our talk radio.

Where they discussed a boycott of the World Cup in Qatar - 22.

Both side had some good argument to why and why not.

Personally I like football, I'm also concern about the news I hear and read about how the workers, who is working on these new stadium and how many had died due to terrible thing.

If my and your countries decide to boycott Qatar - 22 Then they have to hurry-So another country can take over.

If there's a boycott but no substitut I will fully understand it, I'll be sad yes.

Markus

If participating countries were going to boycott Qatar it would already have been changed by now, there's too much money invested in WC 22 and besides that, the bent officials who pocketed a brown envelope will not want any more controversy surfacing about any Qatar venue fixing.

Predictions
I would say the winners are going to come from a hot country whose players can handle the heat better, you can discount Africa, Asia, Australasia and the Middle East as they're just not good enough, so that leaves South and Central America with the European countries dropping out before or at the Semi Final stage.

Its a tough one to call this time as they're going to have to rest there best players more often or they're going to be too exhausted to be effective, so I will choose Brazil and any other from S or C America.

I doubt very much there will be a change of venue....far too much money involved.

We should, but we will not.

My interest in the event is non-existent anyway, since my part-time interest in national team-level football and DFB politics has been completely terminated anyway. As far as I am concerned they all can get stuck in the sand and rott.

An idea based on what I heard in the radio today.

The Danish Ball Union is divided whether Denmark shall or shall not boycott World Cup - 22.

One of the reason should be Denmark could face punishment from FIFA.

Now here is my idea.

FIFA shall give every member a free pass.
Meaning each country can decide if they want to take part or not-without facing punishment if they chose to do so.

A FIFA member must inform FIFA before this countries qualification starts.
This to remove the country and substitut it with an another country.

So what do say to my idea ?

Markus

As I said earlier Markus. There is too much money involved.
