‘A deliberate f*** you’: Insider’s staggering theory on $112m World Cup ‘U-turn’

I back the royals on this one, Budweiser is nasty crap.

As things stand, World Cup visitors can buy alcohol in hotels and restaurants, in fan zones at certain times, and on stadium concourses - but not inside. Beer will cost almost £12 per pint at official venues, and fans will be limited to four drinks to stop them getting drunk. Anyone who does get drunk could be taken to a special zone to sober up.

It does sound like a blast. The sober zone could actually be pretty funny though.
 
Does this country have any redeeming features? Anyone been there? I've only been through the airport which doesn't really count. They just seem like utter cunts. I thought Dubai was the worst place on the planet but this place must be even worse.
 
This will help keep trouble down also I remember times when alcohol was banned from British football stadiums.

You still can't drink while actually watching the game in your seat. Which results in binge drinking pre-game and at half time. Oh and from my experience a whole lot of class A drugs by people in their seats. Very good policy this, very wise.
 
Has Qatar gone rogue? :D

The move ... also suggested that FIFA, which has faced years of blistering criticism for its decision to bring its showpiece championship to Qatar, may no longer be in full control of major decisions related to its event. The organization’s official fan guide notes that “ticket holders will have access to Budweiser, Budweiser Zero, and Coca-Cola products within the stadium perimeter” for at least three hours before games, and for one hour afterward.

Wonder who'll run the sober zone? Religious police who've been told to calibrate their usual punishment of flogging to 'just wait here a bit and then you are good to go'?
 
Budweiser is basically water anyway so you'd struggle to get pissed enough on 4 pints of that to wind up in the drunk pen. £36 for 4 pints of that in a plastic cup. A bargain. As a long term and committed fan of getting drunk, I'd probably need about 30 pints of that to gain entry into the pen.

Are they gonna breathalyse people then? How do they judge if you're pissed or not?
 
FIFA should be fucking disbanded. I hope fans sue the fuck out of them for failing to deliver on their promises.

It's certainly a weird economy:
Spend £48 on shit booze, pass friend. welcome to Qatar and thanks for contributing!

Spend £60 on shit booze, that's enough, stop giving us money and away to the drunk tank you immoral monster!
 
Pity the USA couldn't have stumped up the right amount of bribes to get this WC. If they'd got it the fans would only be allowed to drink Budweiser. :thumbs:

They'd have a different sober zone, where people who haven't had the regulation 4 beers are force fed

In some sort of sliding doors moment, I'm imagining 2nd Term President Trump opening WC USA 2024, raising a plastic cup of Bud (but then dropping it due to his small hands).

4 x 12 = £48.

I got my toes out and everything to check...

While claiming to have scored a hattrick in the 1982 final when the USA defeated a Communist Xi in the final. After 2+ years of continuous, exhausting fact checking, somehow it still becomes accepted fact amongst right wing bellends and the "GOAT" conversation becomes 3-way with Messi, Ronaldo and Trump all having their fans.

And it would still be better than Qatar.

Yeah, I'd prefer Diana Ross missing a penalty than Qatar.
