FIFA said in a statement: "Following discussions between host country authorities and FIFA, a decision has been made to focus the sale of alcoholic beverages on the FIFA Fan Festival, other fan destinations and licensed venues, removing the sales points of beer from Qatar's FIFA World Cup 2022 stadium perimeters."

Qatar has been accused of paying hundreds of 'fake fans' to sing and dance in a series of choreographed videos ahead of the World Cup.

Footage has emerged of various 'fan parades' in Doha ahead of the tournament's big kick-off this Sunday, including celebrations featuring supporters supposedly from England, Brazil, Argentina and several other nations.

The TikTok channel Qatari Living, which has over 400,000 followers, has been sharing videos of the 'fans' from different countries waving flags and chanting songs as they walk along the Corniche in Doha.

US plays Wales Monday at 2 pm EST

US projected to not make the 1st round cut but its really 50/50

Iran is in our group ... and may beat us. US friendlies leading up have looked like shit and Iran is reportedly an improving squad

Just DONT lose to Iran

Fake fan videos are pretty funny. Arab/indian looking males and no females.

Fifa sold their soul to the devil for this shit.
World Cup should be played in the summer time when I can go out and get shitfaced at the bar. I have to plan for thanksgiving and xmas. I can't deal with this shit right now.

Fuck Fifa.
I hope Bin Salmon takes a bone saw to the President of Fifa.

Fifa .... I dont follow soccer much but I do enjoy reading about Fifa and corruption.

Since we missed last World Cup .. im just happy we get 3 games.

Really hoping we somehow manage a good showing vs England on Friday.

Then Iran ... thats going to be intense.

Re: World Cup Qatar 2022
 

US looked good up until they blew it is the 82 min. The USMNT does this shit all the time, they're good but never seem to get it together at the right time.

Re: World Cup Qatar 2022
 

Games have been good. I really hope Argentina turns shit around. I have been listening to a podcast called Last Cup about Messi and kind of pulling for him to finally get to the top here.

Re: World Cup Qatar 2022
 

I am looking forward to watching the Brazil game on Thanksgiving.

Re: World Cup Qatar 2022
 

I'm looking forward to Friday. Let's fucking go!

Look I’m a patriotic thru and thru…of course this country is the greatest thing ever created on earth…that being said, I like to pull for the countries of my forefathers when it comes to soccer:. Ireland, England and Germany.

You want England to beat America? That's horrendous. Ain't no reason in the world to justify that.

Re: World Cup Qatar 2022
 

Not a soccer fan but following the corruption in FIFA is always a good time.

Go USA - even though we appear to be a weaker team out there.

Re: World Cup Qatar 2022
 

US lucky to end that in a tie, but now pressure is on. Giving up stupid late penalty against Wales cost them.

Re: World Cup Qatar 2022
 

How many more ties does the US need to get to the next round?

Re: World Cup Qatar 2022
 

Glad to see Argentina get a W and stay alive, both goals they scored were things of beauty. I'd really like to see the old man finally get a Cup.

if i had not watched girls field hockey thanks to my daughter i say soccer is the worst sport on the planet

Re: World Cup Qatar 2022
 

US v England game was awesome, gives me some hope for the Iran game.

Tomorrow ... USA v Iran ... I dont know if I can take the nervous intense-ness of it all.

I mostly separate the team/players from the regime ..but its still US v Iran.

------

Watched the aregentina-mexico game at Friscos tap house new location in Columbia ... huge hipster type warehouse now with huge tvs but its not a tap house anymore and they only draft their underwhelming house beer Reckless.

You could get a pour of some really good beers at their old location.

Columbia doesnt have a real tap house anymore, the ones we do have dont get the good beers like friscos used to.

I wish that was an option. Got a great soccer friendly beer garden brewery denizens close to my office and I know they are going to be nuts over there. My lady played on the owners adult indoor soccer team, they are hardcore soccer people .. and decent beers.

Hope you don’t see this SS but f-yea. Went to my redneck bar every fucking tv and speaker on game. All the farm hands had the place rocking

Re: World Cup Qatar 2022
 

What happened in that last minute almost fucked my entire world up. Can't believe how fucking close that was.

I don't watch soccer very often. +9 is a lot of extra time and that happened in the 98th minute. That was wild.

New rule that injury time is added into stoppage time . I don't like it, you could the see the USA starting to tire out. Still moving on is big!

were you at Casa Mia's?

Re: World Cup Qatar 2022
 

A-town, Casa Mia's is interesting especially on a Wednesday or Thursday afternoon but at night it is a typical suburban clientele. One of the co-owners of casa Mia's is a Loyola University soccer coach
