Potential for Norwegian boycott of the Qatar WC

[NYboro]

I would love to see this: Boycott?

 

[Alzi]

Republic of Ireland are boycotting too.

Interesting change of stance to challenge a boycott . . . possibly lose out from entering future world cups would be a huge penalty. I think money will rule as ever.

 

[Alzi]

If enough of the big countries do it, Fifa won't be able to ban everyone. Even better take the whole thing away from FIFA and start again.

I'd be supportive of England not taking part in the farce that is the Christmas Qatar World Cup.

The point being that in Norway, the FA have to do what the supporters decide.....

Scotland have boycotted World Cups for years.

It appears so, I hadn't realised it was totally democratic.

It'd have to be player led for England to boycott it. The FA wouldn't have the spine or willingness to lose out on the commercial side

I’d love to see the bigger nations boycott this Sham of a competition bought with blood money and the blood hasn’t stopped flowing since with estimates of upto 6,500 workers killed up to now building the thing.

I noticed Germany wearing human rights banner t shirts now imagine if they pulled out now that would fe a statement.

but don’t discount Norway as don’t forget this is erling halland the wunderkind himself and that would be huge for kudos and sponsors alike.

Great....we might have a chance of winning.

Exactly, Fifa don't own football. They are just a cartel creaming off a fortune from the game we all love; an absolute cancer to football.

I doubt Norway qualify for World Cup so no need to boycott

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

It's the FIFA World Cup, you can't take it away from them. The different FAs could leave FIFA and form another association but it's those associations, including the FA, that make FIFA the institution that it is. If it's corrupt it's because they're allowing it.

Aren't UEFA already at logger heads with FIFA?

Fighting over the money, of course.

Sounds about right.

I have been searching for the basis of the death rate. Strangely the figures reported by the Guardian don’t have any factual references. Does anyone know upon what they are based?

 

[Foggysfplandiet3]

It needs the likes of Brazil, Germany, Italy, France, Spain and Argentina to boycott it.

Alzi: A Christmas World Cup! What percentage of world football has a shut down over that period, any idea?

The latest estimate is 56123 will be killed or seriously injured getting to the tournament Sourced from the madeupfig data. What is the basis for the 6500 workers killed building the thing?
