It's going to be a disaster that's going to be a well deserved black eye on FIFA this at least will prevent another mud person country from hosting one.
Brazilians will be rounded up in the streets for indecency, the English will be arrested for public drinking. I cannot wait for this

Like most world cups/Olympics build up will all be negative then the sport happens and nobody remembers all that.

I saw the Iran side did a form of protest before their game today so they'll likely all be banned from playing in the world cup if their government stay in power.

Honestly I give them props...they hire foreigners to build their shit, but only countrymen can man checkpoints and perform security. I'm sure FIFA advised them to hire foreign security forces but they were mindful enough to know a country of 300,000 citizens can easily have a merc. led coup performed on them:

Al-Udeid?

Yup, sep 07- to March '08, and again 2015 to 2016. It sucks because I missed seeing Billy Joel in Tampa by one night! we got delayed a day coming back.

Both times I was there they had someone die of unusual causes (drinking I'm sure)... I swear I had nothing to do with it.
