There’s some defence for Qatar, or rather an attack on The West, as a Mailboxer questions the England doom-mongers and Jude Bellingham can’t be trusted…

World Cup whataboutery
I’ve been an avid fan of F365 for over a decade, but I am simply quite sick and tired of the moral high round exhibited by western media and journalists throughout this World Cup.
None more so than the Matt Stead article celebrating Qatar getting knocked out the World Cup. I’ve never seen someone so entitled and writing with such arrogance. Just fyi Matt, the UK has one of the bloodiest histories in the world and is in no position to teach others what’s right and wrong. And you’re not a global power anymore so stop thinking the days of the British Empire are alive and kicking.
I’ve lived in the UK my whole life and am a British citizen, but I’m completely sickened with this western narrative about Qatars record with human rights.
Just a brief fact for you Matt, the most people benefiting from the cheap Labour in Qatar for preparation for the World Cup are western companies, taking in millions in profit, but I don’t see any western media or yourself bringing that up. Stop with the hypocrisy and start respecting every sovereign nation and their rules and regulations, the same way you expect visitors to queue properly in Britain when they visit and to adhere to British rules and societal norms.
Britain is not greater than Qatar or vice versa, so stop acting that way. I will now be actively supporting any nation that plays western nations with this sickening narrative.
It’s very simple, if you don’t respect the country’s laws and society, just don’t go. But no need to ruin the month we’ve been waiting for for four years. Thanks.
Also, I must say I’ve grown to admire Piers Morgan for calling out the statements laced with hypocrisy regarding everything with this World Cup.
Let’s enjoy the football.

It’s amazing how absolutely everything bad that happens at this World Cup is attributed to Qatar. The latest example being England fans booing. Alexander blames the lack of enthusiasm for the World Cup on the type of fans that are there. Then goes onto say that these fans are all expats (with no evidence) and they’re all therefore entitled and horrible people.
England were booed in 2010. They were booed in 2014. They were booed last year at home for taking…
