They will have a neutral country decide those. Believe they are leaning towards Qatar

Yeah, let me know when Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz are buying up EPL teams. I'll buy a plane ticket to the UK to protest.
Sorry but John Henry just isn't nearly as problematic as the Saudi royal family or Russian oligarchs lol, and anyone who thinks he is is wildly ignorant.

Well you can say whatever you want, but the ownership in football is absolutely a joke right now
Regardless of how it has affected football, I see people, even life long fans of their clubs begging for Saudi owners
It's disgusting honestly

Basically anyone that isn’t from Western Europe will be considered disqualified and anyone from Western Europe will have their violations waved away

What if their football is just so bad that I feel abused?

Sportswashing. Basically a term where terrible countries will host sporting events/ leagues to try and improve their vision. The World Cup last year was sportswashing to try and put Qatar in a better light. Or the new LIV Golf by Saudi Arabia.

If only a drama-filled 38yo QB could magically change that….

If one country restricts the movements and ability to practice of a different country’s players, it can’t be allowed to participate in international competition. This should bar Russia and Israel from all World Cup and Olympic events until they withdraw from their occupations.

Slumlords and the abuse they’ve given United fans but it’s nothing compared to the other big money owners.

Same. Tennis seems like a tough sport to manipulate the score of. There aren’t many judgement calls from the ref.

I had a soccer ref do this because he was from our opponent’s town. We still won. I just wont forget hearing him, the ref himself say such.

(The Head of Fifa) Giovanni Vincenzo " Gianni " Infantino. I mean the dude is a walking billboard for human rights violations. His experience would be most helpful. /s
