World Corrupt was an illuminating podcast co-hosted by Roger Bennett of Men in Blazers. Five 40 minute episodes covering the why and how and history of the Qatari hosting the WC. Give it a listen.

With the expanded field it's not like we'd risk not making the WC at this point. We need to switch to the best possible chance to making a run to the quarters or something.
France is super injured. I think it's Brazil and England honestly.
Haven’t finished the Netflix doc yet, but it’s alright so far. They do the dumb thing they always do and make it a miniseries that’s way too long. It starts with how FIFA was founded.
This sportswashing is really working. I went from having no opinion on Qatar to a deep loathing of Qatar.
Some of the new kits i’ve seen are pretty bad imo. Not really a big fan of the us kit, especially the white one.
That was a little sad. Good thing no repeat this time and there is no worry in 2026 as US is a host. Also think Canada and Mexico get auto bids since they are hosts as well.
I feel like it's gonna look like we're wearing blue bow ties.
I'll hold further criticism until I see them on, though. I didn't really care for the red/blue rectangle MC Escher design, but they grew on me.
Looking forward to the USA being in it for the first time in 8 years. Wish the Iran game is before the England game but it's not a bad lineup starting with Wales first.
I got it between US and Iran for 2nd. U.S. has the better roster but Iran has the better coach.
The Dutch are manageable round of 16 opponents if it happens. Hoping for a Maguire or Dier screw up is the best option to winning the group.
@PSYclone22 made a prediction group for the world cup here: https://www.superbru.com/worldcup_predictor/pool.php?p=12529589. Anyone can join and you can predict one game at a time. I'm having a hard time with group A with Mane out for Senegal. Qatar or Senegal getting 2nd imo.

So FIFA boss infantino kind of lost it today
Although I do think his “Today I feel Qatari, I feel Arab, I feel African…” quote will become a meme

Put a bet o. Equator winning this match before kick-off. Easy money.
I’m also hoping Qatar loses by 4 or more every match. I want complete humiliation.
