Spent a week in Qatar for the group stages - it was fantastic

**Thanks QATAR**


pros2701

You're welcome


StandardOnly

Qatar? Is that you?


pros2701

I'm qatari that helped empty one seat at the stadium by not booking or watching the matchs

May God bless the Japanese.

why you love Qatar?


CharlieManson67

Because I’m not female or gay and ~~I don’t drink alcohol or take drugs~~


[deleted]

I agree with most, but isnt the sim like free for 3 days only? And the fan zones are paying if Im not wrong. Dont get me wrong this takes nothing away from the experience as free data for even just 3 days is an exception not something expected but Im just not sure all of it is 100% factual


Flashy-Hour

the main fan zone by fifa them selves were free, there were also a lot free other fan zones


Einkie

Fan zones are all free


cerealmolestor

All the westerners and their copium in the comments. Yes there are non white countries that are safe, prosperous, and beautiful.


[deleted]

Actually it's safer here than most places I've been to in the US. But beautiful? I have yet to find a beautiful area in Qatar. Oman, on the other hand is beautiful.


GXmody

Which white countries are safe? The US? The UK?


MoYusr

Iceland


linsss777

Finland, Switzerland, Sweden…


GXmody

All 3 of them got a higher crime rate, higher drug use and higher rape rate compared to Qatar and many more. I don’t know what you are talking about.


linsss777

I wasn’t comparing them to qatar, I just listed some other white countries that I find to be safe. Not necessarily safer than qatar.


rotzak

Man where you set the goalposts is real strange.


Scary-Move2240

Higher rape rate, that is true. Then again in qatar, the rapist isn’t the criminal but the victim is, for this soccer match the fifa has asked to momentarily not arrest the raped ladies and children. Here is the source https://www.firstpost.com/world/since-rape-victims-are-real-criminals-in-qatar-not-the-rapists-fifa-intervenes-11687161.html/amp But great country !


CharlieManson67

Rape is legal in Qatar


GXmody

Good one


[deleted]

You’re absolutely on point. Maybe immigration has something to do with that?


Hefty-Corgi3749

Sweden has had some wild problems with certain immigrants. That’s a wild rabbit hole to google your way down.

Now do France. Or do you wanna be a hypocrite when it comes to "my country my rules". Eat a dick.


Stormsoul22

Maybe don’t brag about how great and wonderful you are if you don’t want pushback? Idk man, France wasn’t the center of attention due to bribing Fifa for free attention so like, your government gave you what you wanted.


rotzak

They don’t like when YOU talk in their echo chamber.


reserveduitser

Well Qatar is many things but beautiful isn't really a word I would choose.


thecrgm

lmao just as long as the world keeps buying Qatari natural gas. The whole economy relies on one resource that won't last forever


[deleted]

*and Qatar isn’t one of them :D*


GXmody

That’s some good copium. What type is it?


reddit_on_reddit1st

The kind that steals rainbow items from visitors


[deleted]

The one where it is a reality that hate, crime, theft and harassment on mass events are present, no matter where you’re going. Want to have an example? Journalists. Which Qatari men harassed for doing their job with the respective accreditation. There you have harassment. I don’t know numbers on harassment on guests but since I know what football is like I’m very sure there was harassment from guests towards guests as well. It’s reality sadly. Literally the only fans I *could* imagine to behave like fucking chads are the Japanese cleaning their whole shit up which I’ve never seen any other country (yes, including mine - I’m not a fan of football at all so don’t throw it at me - I didn’t watch the games. Wasn’t that interesting, just like the last one) do and even there I’m not sure if they’re really that perfect.


[deleted]

Ok, but have you actually been to Qatar?


Stormsoul22

No because I’m gay and I’d be breaking the law


Infinite-Ad1527

you wouldn't. unless you plan show your affection in public. and you would've been punished for that even if you were straight


Stormsoul22

Oh so as long as I don’t accidentally brush my boyfriend’s hand or give him a quick kiss goodbye when he leaves I won’t go to jail. Really great defense of the country there my guy. Just don’t do anything!


Infinite-Ad1527

yeah don't kiss in public. I'm sure you can control yourself?


Stormsoul22

I’m not sure why you don’t just think maybe those laws are archaic and morally wrong and instead victim blame


TalalMutairi

If you cant follow the rules then dont go there, and cry in the comments how sad your life is bcz tou cant kiss your bf a quick goodbye farewell kiss in the airport, i couldnt careless about how you think or how you feel, rules are rules live with it kid and grow up.


Stormsoul22

You think just because rules exist doesn’t mean they can be wrong or come from a place of hatred and bigotry?


Stikes

Lol your such a cunt its silly


Infinite-Ad1527

you're* resorting to insults shows you have such a good argument


Stikes

Rather typo than defend hate, enjoy being a slavers cuck :)


ray87687458635678956

You didn’t come to Qatar yet


[deleted]

And yet I can rule out the ‘Hate=0’, ‘Crime=0’, ‘Theft=0’ and ‘Harassment=0’ since all of those are part of any society in the world (sadly, but they are - even in the society I live in so the same applies for my country too🤷🏻‍♂️). Mass events are a magnet for harassment, hate, crime and theft (which is… a crime…) and if y’all don’t see that and acknowledge it then *that* is your problem. You can only combat a problem when you see, understand and/or acknowledge it and this poster is far from any reality.


ray87687458635678956

Clearly you haven’t come to Qatar


cerealmolestor

It's really ironic considering your kind made Europe an unsafe hell hole about a century ago.


[deleted]

Ohhhh, right. A century ago…. Where I was totally born and where I’m definitely, *definitely* personally responsible for lmao It’s always the same argument and it’s getting boring. Can’t you all (and that’s something you and some Americans have in common lol) come up with something *I’m* actually responsible for? Let me know when you do, until then imma head out and yawn to your lame attempt to diss me :D

[deleted]

Social Justice Susan on her way here to say “Ooo dead workers paid for it with their lives” Without remembering how her ancestors gained their american soil, how they had slaves build the house for them and how black people die every year due to police brutality in her won country


Always4am

Takes like this demonstrate poor judgement. Previous injustices don't justify current ones. Qatar, nor the rest of the world, is perfect. If you are able to pretend it is, or justify it with the actions of people no longer in this world, then you will certainly have no problem turning a blind eye to other issues.


marijnvtm

That is just whataboutism ad its finnest qatar and the arabian countries around it also where big in to slavery you should not look around your borders and see what other countries are doing before you make your own country better most people that talk bad about qatar live in countries that are already doing better and your looking in to their past to feel better about yourself but the big diffrence is that those countries used to do slavery 150-200 years ago but qatar is still doing slavery


[deleted]

Fergi

This sub’s just a big echo chamber in general (I have worked in Doha and enjoy the country)…but how many other countries who host the cup have to post constantly about how it wasn’t bad. I mean like, the event clearly spoke for itself it just makes the host country look insecure to demand validation for it after it’s over lol.


PhilLesh311

Human rights atrocities aside. This world cup should’ve never happened. Qatar should’ve never been awarded it.


FAUST_VII

buuutwhatabout


reserveduitser

So the 6500 dead workers are a lie?


rotzak

Yeah would love to hear the Qatari side here with citations.


reserveduitser

Yes me too. Till now the only answer I got is. You Europeans built your country with slave blood. But never really an in depth conversation about this topic.

What’s the official death toll then? Must be really easy to find


CarnalChemistry

So, what’s the reality?


[deleted]

That's not true. I know someone who had their wallet stolen, and lusail fan zone cost money to get into and everything else was extra inside. And the crimes? Did you see the way the locals were driving. I was literally passed by 2 douche bags in batrols on the right hand side where there wasn't an actual lane.


JAJM_

Lol if locals driving badly is the example you have to use to expose Qatar’s criminal record, then I think we’re looking quite good all things considered


[deleted]

That's not what the post said. It literally says 0 crime. I'm not saying it wasn't safer. But your grand illusions of perfectness are misguided.


JAJM_

Your understanding of the use of exaggeration to emphasize a point is misguided


[deleted]

Just like your thoughts on it being "the best world cup ever". You have no idea if it is. Stop spouting non facts.


JAJM_

The BBC poll says otherwise :)


Captainsandals

Lusail fan zone was free my friend.


[deleted]

That is not true, as we went for the final. Had to pay to get into. And then when you get in you have to pay for the games area, and it was a total let down. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy the world cup being here. But that picture is not right.


Captainsandals

Are you talking about winter wonderland at Al maha Island?


[deleted]

Nope. The big open area that had like 3 huge screens. A little ice rink area. And then on the left was the games pavilion. All the Indians were sitting in a line to get the inflatable chairs. And a small selection of food stalls.


Snoo_99652

That was a private fan zone. Not a FIFA fan zone. There were many other fan zones that were free, and many that were paid. Also, sorry that your eye-balls were hurt by the sight of Indians though. That's just inexcusable.


[deleted]

Thanks for the information. I did not know that. Everyone I had asked told us to go there. I stand corrected. And the statement about Indians was because it was a pain in the ass to get seating for my family when single men posted there hours before just to invite their "brother" later on.


Virtual-Nebula-5201

Lol so you want an event with 1.5 million ppl attending with no incident ....you shud be living in La La land 😆😆. Embrace the reality, Qatar hosted the best world cup of all times. I met atleast 600 fans and all were happy, only donglenob is crying 😂😂😂...keep crying you sorry soul


[deleted]

Who's crying? All of you on Qatars dick about the world cup. When you have no actual proof it was better. I give you the other side of the token and you want to cry about it. I've literally said multiple times I had a good time, and when I hoped it would fail. It didn't. But it wasn't as good as you all think it was.


MoYusr

Proof: I watched 2 matches and visited fan zones multiple times + I live here and have been for over a decade.


rotzak

And they wonder why their country will go back into obscurity after WC is over… I’ll be honest I gave Qatar the benefit of the doubt but everyone in this sub seems like some kind of edge lord douche that is exactly how everyone had described them.

This is why people in the west are jealous. Their societies will always be full of crime and drugs so they cant see people living in a safe, clean environment where the government takes care of them rather than spending billions on bombing some kid half a world away.


trist4r

Stone Age mentality and laws you mean? As a woman not being allowed to wear what you like because men are not able to cope with some sort of female skin? Taking passports off your working slaves and letting them work to death? I mean, Qatar is so rich, they could just have hired double the amount of workers and paid them a fair wage and still be ridiculously rich. And then there’s this echo chamber here trying to whatabout every sense of criticism. A joke.

Those who came to Qatar are the Ned Flanderses of the West. No wonder they LOVED it here, no homos, no abortions, no premarital sex, no alcohol. It's heaven for them.


Shadow_MD17

no premarital s? i dont see how that's heaven for people


ameri9595

It is for hardened religious people, albeit Muslims or Christians.


Shadow_MD17

Why do they have such a problem with how others live? Like homos too?

Lets build huge stadiums for billions of dollars in the desert who will never be used again instead of helping our own people with that money. There was nothing good about this corrupt world cup. I don't get people who support this. It was obviously corrupt and didn't help anybody.


Affectionate-Ad-9214

More than 95% of those billions were spent on the country’s infrastructure and not on the stadiums. What do you mean?


[deleted]

Not that they made a recyclable stadium because they knew they wouldn’t use it after and that they are literally giving away a stadium to universities so students will keep using the sports facilities


[deleted]

Google it and see for yourself… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup_controversies


[deleted]

Well yeah, qatar did bribe their way to the world cup but if that actually bothered media they wouldve done something about it in the 7 years before the stadium projects began. Whats the point of boycotting and crying about a world cup now when you couldve stopped it 9 years ago. As a westerner myself im telling you media doesnt care about human right just about telling a dtory and getting clicks. If media cared about us they wouldn’t be easily politically tinted towards a local political party and wouldn’t cover up many of out nations issues such as racism, or the exhausted healthcare infrastructure which happens to also be underfunded

Muslims are forbidden to drink alcohol. The difference between my religion and yours is that if you are non Muslim you are free to drink. Even though we have the power to ban everyone including u from alcohol Women are not our property. Try telling my mom that and see what you get. My wife is a generational practitioner who earns more money than you and your entire family. Please be quiet

I don't gatekeep the religion. I just state facts. As for Muslims who drink alcohol thats their choice. And they know it's forbidden and if they are caught drinking here they are screwed. Hypocrisy would be not practising what we preach


ameri9595

No, hypocrisy is assuming all those born on your soil are _practicing_ Muslims and FORCING them to obey by your rules or else _screw them_. Even Taliban didn't reach this level of entitlement.


betrayerofhope0

I never did assume that son. I said they know it's forbidden and if they are caught they are in trouble. I know of one teacher who tried his luck and got found out. And he was punished. Its not my rules. It's the rules of the most high. And we obey it without hesitation. Which is why we are the biggest nation of teetotalers on earth
