FIFA and Putin Understand Each Other Very Well

i really feel for the teams in 2022, so many pre-season teams look like they're dying playing here-van gaal even made man utd take a water break

plus how some of the players look when they played during the day in brazil, qatar nor brazil should be hosting. i just read an article about a year later workers in qatar still haven't received payment and they're still working in roach infested conditions. i wish other countries had been picked, this is going to get messier.

also, has any country ever lost the right because of bad enough press? i know the right to host has been given up because of the lack of funds.

i think fifa is to blame for how bad it was to play here in brazil. we have football tournaments during the whole year, including summer which is crazy hot here. the problem is: you can't play at 1 pm, it's the worst time. and they put a number in the degrees so the ref could be allowed to give a technical break, i mean, if it's too hot, it's too hot. you don't need to check how many degrees it is to know that, right? there are scientific things such as thermal sensation and humidity as well

sorry, i actually meant qatar nor russia should host-i didn't think brazil should have because the money seemed better spent elsewhere and even with the political messiness it was a good WC (plus what's done is done)

ahahhhahaha ok, dear
i couldn't agree more

it would be better if i had managed to get tickets for the matches
other than that, love it love it adore it worship it

but will Russia be too cold? i have no idea how the weather is during summer

[ext_2081809]

i thought russia would be cold too! but then someone on here said russia gets really warm for summer and that it had a record of 92.5F, i feel like that's not too far off from our weather here but idk about humidity & whatnot

I think the weather's quite pleasant in the summer and only the northern parts and Siberia are actually cold.

i hope it doesn't affect the usual glimpses of abs and thighs. if that undershirt becomes a thing i don't know what i'm gonna do

[the4thjuliek]

Don't forget the sweat drenched white kits!

[purplesealion2]

i went looking for pics to illustrate how unforgettable they are but couldn't find any
will extend my research through the night. it's worth it. i know.

Here, I've saved you some time:

[purplesealion2]

and people complain about the heat

[rare_lj]

FIFA should ban undershirts imo

[purplesealion2]

then blatter would be my man

[funhouse]

ban green vests!

I don't think Brazil was ever a problem weather wise, the entire country doesn't have tropical weather and they could have played later in the evening. But they just had to choose to have the games in the worst time of the day in the middle of the jungle.

If they had made the games later in the day I would NOT have been able to stay up and watch them. :(
