Who could have possibly seen this coming?
I mean, this isn't inherently a Canadian issue, as much as we are taggers-on for this bid. We'll never be able to host on our own and the only way we can host is to join others in our confederation. It's nice we'll be getting matches but the impending "failure" of this event is not inherently our fault. It's almost certainly the US' and FIFA's condoning of their actions which haven't occurred at any other WC.

Remember that a lot of the "bad press" that Qatar was getting was from Western Liberal nations being performative. Norway said they would boycott (they didn't qualify) and Germany wore rainbow patches. Both were vocal about issues in Qatar (some warranted to varying degree) but neither have said anything about the current issues in the US, including the continued breaking down in credibility of the main hosts. Qatar is essentially a propped-up American state in the GCC and even they weren't immune to criticism from the West, but it seems like that criticism can never be pointed towards one of their own when the rubber hits the road...

Uhh I saw that same piece, from 3 weeks ago. You yourself also said the hotels aren't even 50% sold right now.

Bizarre. Lightening was well clear by 4:45 pm. And heading north east.
Rules around lightning are strict, you can’t just decide somewhere outdoors is safe because lightning has never struck there. Remaining closed for tonights game is a bit bizarre though.
