Bud is shit anyway
The fact Bud is probably the only beer you can get there is enough to put me off FIFA events for life - and I say that as a fan of "piss weak lager" - I have a can of Amstel on the go right now for eg.
But Budweiser? Jesus Christ, even I have standards.

Bloke in the pub the other day ordered a bottle of bud and a glass with ice. I was close to staging an intervention.

I am ashamed to say we also bought it in packs of 24 cans for weekends, though one summer you got 24 cans plus (I think it was 4) tubes of Phileas Fogg snacks, which were legendary.

It's turning into the disaster everyone said it would be, the moment the host nation was announced. If you care about football, you won't watch any of it.
I'm just fucked off that it has made the first season on FM23 a complete ballache.

Utter shit show, completely agree, but don't see what individuals not watching in their homes will do to help. Blatter has already publicly stated that it was a mistake. I don't see it happening again.

He is hardly going to criticize his paymasters, especially when they have been so kind to lend him private jets in the past so he doesn't have to fly with the plebs

The way that we complain about Qatar (rightly so) but also ignoring the conditions that lots of migrants have to deal with in western countries.

Name a western country that's killed 6500 immigrant building workers since...ooh, 1945?
Maybe FIFA should include a "how many poor people do you intend to kill?" question in the bid process.

Luis Enrique more than just a coach for Torres at World Cup
Luis Enrique is more than just a coach for Spain forward Ferran Torres. He is also the father of the Barcelona player's girlfriend - and that's no problem for them at the World Cup
