We won't. However I can not speak for what Qatar may or may not do to its slave labor.

Q: What did the emir tell the slave laborer who had two black eyes at the end of his 18 hour shift?

A: Nothing, he already told him twice.

To be fair, it is very difficult to pay your laborers after you've spent so much bribing FIFA leaders. So slave labor is a logical budgetary choice.

If a slave falls off a qatar stadium and goes splat does it make a sound?

Okay Markets are Superior. I see you are a long time lurker and very infrequent poster. You just took on one huge responsibility my friend, one that will see you post roughly 6x your aggregate in one thread.

Good luck.

I know that there's no way it would happen but I would love it if finally someone would just say "G D it. We get it. The whole thing is crooked as hell. If we just let England host in 22 would y'all just shut up about it?"

Just saw an article that FIFA has given up on trying to convert the '22 WC to a 48 team tournament. Partly because no one else in the region can partner with them due to a lack of international relations and hopefully because it's a terrible idea.

They couldn't find enough slave labor to quickly build more venues.

Has anyone seen a FIFA Calendar for the World Cup? One huge international break from early Nov to Christmas? Or are the leagues going to try to ramble on?

I haven't seen a FIFA calendar, but I know the Bundesliga, for one, is officially off from mid-October to mid/late January. Bit easier for them since they only have 34 matchdays and 1 domestic cup. Can't imagine what the ****show will be like in England.

Matchday 17 on November 11-13
Break for WC
Matchday 18 on January 20, 2023
End of season May 27, 2023

Geez, they plan to be a month ahead of schedule while only starting a week earlier. MW 16 was December 11/12 this year.

They were at MW 11 on Nov 12 this year.

So a lot more midweek games + I assume fewer international breaks. Wonder what happens to all the cup games like League Cups and the European group stages that are typically midweek.

This whole thing is such a cluster****.

The only thing that matter is that FIFA got paid. Y'all gotta see the big picture.
