It's incredible that they cooked up the 3 continent strategy just to give 2034 to the Saudis.

Absolutely brazen, not even trying to hide it at this point.

Why bother hiding it? Whats gonna happen? They have a total stranglehold on this sport and there is no way out. The old world is dying, the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of Monsters.

We should make our own fifa with blackjack and hookers.

The only thing that could stop it is mass walkout of both players and audience.

The only other thing people can do, personally, is not watch the thing.

People will still watch it, we need active walkouts and refusal to play the matches to qualify from day 1.

They couldn't even put an armband on. Nothing is going to happen. Football is the greatest tool there has ever been for glossing over all the stuff you want to hide.

it seems that players used to have spine in the 20th century as there were many who boycotted in 1978.

And as we saw with Qatar, there's under a zero percent chance of that ever happening.

The dice were loaded from the moment Morocco was added to the Spain/Portugal bid. That didn't happen by chance: as a fellow Arab monarchy, Morocco enjoys very good relations with Saudi Arabia.
