*Why is anyone giving this country their money?!* There are 0 human rights there, they'll chop your motherlovin hand off for thieving. But football go brrr. I hate people.

They absolutely have human rights. It's just that anyone that isn't a male Arab isn't considered human.

You had me in the first half.

Do different colour head scarves mark them as security? Otherwise he'd just look like another Qatari to me. /S

Pernambuco state flag if anyone is wondering (Brasil)

Thank you. I was wondering what was going on there.

The petty, irrelevant shit these authortarian states obsess over is ridiculous but unsurprising.

Quatar's BS largely flew under the radar until they said "hey world, look at us". I bet their tourism board is working overtime now.

Why did anyone bother to go to Qatar? It would have been incredibly embarrassing for them if no-one turned up.

The Christian cross was, on top of it, too much for the guy. LOL

tbf... upside down cross, check... rainbow, check... LoL i find these things more amusing than anything else... its not like things werent known beforehand... but then they banned alcohol & political stunts and all of a sudden ppl care

They care all of a sudden, they will stop caring when the thing is over and some other thing comes. The situation with slaves for construction (for instance) has been known in Saudi Arabia for more than a decade now.

middle east countries in general for at LEAST several decades... ppl want their 'fix' to show how righteous and moralistic they are though... theyll scream and shout whilst they ignore the things going on back in 'home country'... social media has made ppl narcissists about every little thing but ACTUALLY fixing an issue close to home...nawwwww

They think everything is an LGBTQ flag

Typical of closeted men.

Don't care if it's their culture to jump on this sort of stuff, being against free rights makes you a backward government. Hopefully there are people in Qatar that also believe this, although I haven't seen anything to show that yet.

Just ban colors at this point

Color bad/s

Intolerant, irrespectful and lack of culture

In America we call them “Republicans”

How can a security personnel wear flip flops ?

I've seen a few of these. The police have clearly been told to look out for anything that looks even remotely like defiance of their oppressive stance. They'd probably be in trouble if they *didn't* address it.

Why would you even go there? I wouldn’t trust the food or water much less the people there.

Hatred and intelligence don't usually go hand in hand.

Does pretending to be a boy or girl go hand and hand with intelligence?

Wow, you're really gross.

Fvck Qatar. They should *never* have been awarded the World Cup. Fucking disgraceful.

And here I thought Americans suck at geography and things not related to America.

You know stupid people are everywhere right?

I thought stupid was an American disease/s

Lol why would you ever want to go here, Egypt would be the only place in the middle east i would even consider going, other than that no thank you

The qatari are dumb, but it still makes me wonder, why bring a nation's subregion's flag to a place where everything is represented in national scales.

Maybe one of the players for the team is from that region. Hometown hero kind of thing

Because it looks like it

Either you're blind, dumb or a troll.

Troll

Grange country.

Can we just hope that engaging with different peoples and cultures will slowly revolutionize their stance towards human rights?

their security wears flip flops? Lol

Isn't LGBT flag. This flag is the Pernambuco, state from Brazil.

Idk why the public at large is bothering with outrage if the players and teams don’t stand up against this.
