Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy sentenced to jail for corruption
Sarkozy found guilty of corruption and influence peddling but is unlikely to spend time in prisonwww.theguardian.com
It would be nice to see the nations that participate in the euros boycott this World Cup. It’ll never happen, but unless a message is sent to FIFA it’ll never change.I find it staggering that no country has boycotted the tournament yet.
It's all well and good talking about Qatar's human rights record and another thing actually doing something.
Actions speak louder than words and all that.
Boycotting the tournament would be a solid move, but I don't find it staggering that no country has done it. No one in the "West" joined the Saudi led diplomatic boycott of Qatar (cringe anyway) thats now collapsed. They have a shit ton of money, no one cares what they do...same with the Saudis.I find it staggering that no country has boycotted the tournament yet.

Probably because slave labour is happening there now . Working conditions are atrocious & people are dying.Why the uproar about Qatar hosting the world Cup? Numerous countries with questionable human rights records have hosted the tournament over the years.

Plus the fact that it was acquired in a blatantly corrupt fashion, plus the fact that its timing is upsetting the natural football calendar.Probably because slave labour is happening there now . Working conditions are atrocious & people are dying.
I think there’s also a lot of annoyance of how they’ve gone about acquiring playersPlus the fact that it was acquired in a blatantly corrupt fashion, plus the fact that its timing is upsetting the natural football calendar.
Then after Qatar comes the wretched 48 team format and the death of the notion of a home nation, and there has hardly ever been a more golden goose more horribly butchered.

it all just shows Fifa for what they are .
So it looks like we are out of the running for the 2030 World cup because of a few drunk morons trying to charge their way into Wembley?
All fine to have public be-headings and slave labour if you can bribe the right people it seems.
