That is fucking ridiculous and a disgrace. It was shit in Qatar in the middle of winter and it'll be shit in Saudi. What a joke. The levels of bribery and corruption in world football now is incredible.

It's a disgrace but the world cup in Qatar was one of the best ever lol, believe what you want but that's how the most of the world remembers the football of that WC

Most? According to what survey? I don't know of a single person that thought it was, overall, a good WC. I'd wager most people would put it down as one of the least memorable in living history. It was dreadful, and players came back to the Premier League knackered and injured. Worst WC ever.

Show me a survey that it was the worst then Mr I need a source, the final is literally described on Wikipedia as one of the greatest of all time

The final was a great match for sure. It's just all else associated with that tournament was terrible.
