OH come on. The Vuvuzela was one of the most amusing sounds in the history of the contest. I wish they adopt it in the rest of the world cups

No offense meant but here in the US it will always be “ soccer” which takes a back seat to football. I won’t be watching fifa.

I am a very passionate football supporter, as some might know.

But I will completely boycott this tournament, due to the host nation's poor record of human rights. Many active football supporters in Germany are doing the same.

If you were to travel there, would you be willing to spend perhaps thousands of euros to watch your team?

I don't really support our national team that much. But even if I would, I would never spend a single penny in a country, where human rights and worker's rights are barely existing.

You know my opinion when it's about human rights especially in the Middle Eastern countries where human rights come usually at the end of the list for the governments. But when you want to boycott Qatar for its record of violating human rights then you gotta stop buying its natural gas as well. Which is, especially now, completely unrealistic.
Do you prefer freezing in winter than to pay the bill for heating that relies on the Qatari Gas? I know a couple of Germans who are ready to do so and I highly appreciate that....
How about you?

The fascist AfD even asked the government to buy natural gas from Iran, but I am not aware of any plans to buy from Qatar.
