Time for bed buddy.What a chance the counties had to stick it up them. If they all done it what could Fifa done about it.
Ah know man. Imagine being outraged at a country making it illegal to be gay. PC gone mad mate. Can't even lock of people for their sexual preference without a SJW greeting. Mental.
Throwing the toys out the pram if you ask me. Do they want football to become a virtue signalling fanfare? The decision to go to Qatar was 12 years ago why didn't they want to leave then or in any of the preceding tournaments. Why did they even enter the qualification process for the world cup?Football needs reform. Fifa and uefa need gutted. All corrupt bastards
The mental thing about all this is that they are going nuts about an armband for LGBT but not the huge number of immigrants who ACTUALLY DIED building the stadiums.
It just sums up how screwed our priorities are these days. The worst division in the world is between rich and poor, not straight and LGBT. But we won’t address the first one though because our whole house of cards of a society is built on it.
Good for Denmark, it's a pity other countries don't have the balls for this...This could get interesting
Denmark ready to leave FIFA after 'emergency meeting' with England in OneLove call to arms
The Danish FA wants a "dialogue" with other UEFA nations over the possibility of leaving FIFA after an "emergency meeting" at the England hotel.www.football365.com
Denmark are ready to discuss a blanket withdrawal from FIFA alongside other UEFA nations over the OneLove armbands issue.
The captains of seven European nations were planning on wearing the anti-discrimination armbands to protest against Qatar’s human rights record, but all backed down after FIFA revealed on the eve of the tournament that they would be shown yellow cards for doing so.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday morning, Danish FA (DBU) CEO Jakob Jensen revealed that a yellow card was the “minimum” punishment that captain Simon Kjaer would have faced.
“On November 21, England asked for an emergency meeting with FIFA, who came to the English hotel,” Jensen revealed. “FIFA said it would at least give a yellow card.
“There has been discussion about whether there is a legal basis for giving a yellow card, but there is. The penalty could have been a yellow card, that the captain had not come on the pitch or that he was given a ban.”
The German football association is taking FIFA to the Court of Arbitration for Sport over the ban and now the DBU delegation revealed the “anger” this has caused, and stated they would not formally support current president Gianni Infantino – who is standing unopposed – in his reelection bid.
“There are presidential elections in FIFA. There are 211 countries in FIFA and I understand that the current president has statements of support from 207 countries,” said DBU chairman Jesper Moller. “Denmark is not among those countries. And we’re not going to be either.”
Moller also revealed that Denmark were considering leaving FIFA, and were willing to discuss this with all 55 member states of the organisation.
“It is not a decision that has been made now. We have been clear about this for a long time. We have been discussing it in the Nordic region since August,” he said.
“I’ve thought it again. I imagine that there may be challenges if Denmark leaves on its own. But let us see if we cannot have a dialogue on things.“I have to think about the question of how to restore confidence in FIFA. We must evaluate what has happened, and then we must create a strategy – also with our Nordic colleagues.”
Now that I think about it, most especially a pity the Scotland doesn't have the balls for it.... the usual Shit-%^*&-All...Good for Denmark, it's a pity other countries don't have the balls for this...
FIFA is a kleptocracy that needs to come to an end....
Would be a joke if not so brazenly corruptFIFA are not fit for purpose. Total joke that Russia and Qatar got the last couple of world cups.
Thats why they call it a "world cup". They can't just give it to Western Europe every 4 years.FIFA are not fit for purpose. Total joke that Russia and Qatar got the last couple of world cups.
I expect many many clubs willGermany might jump too.
This.
Football is being ruined by SJW’s.
No sporting event takes place now without some faux outrage about something somewhere.
100%This tournament will turn a lot of true fans away from the game.
It has gone far too political and even more commercial than ever.
FIFA are corrupt as fck and playing the top tournament in the desert in what is clear corruption in a country that literally has no morals but preaches to everyone else is the final straw. The beer ban 48 hours before the start was the cherry on top. Should have been cancelled there and then.
I don’t think they will be. FIFA is corrupt to the core and badly needs reform, this is the chance to do it. If England and other top sides threaten to leave too FIFA will panic.Suspect Denmark may be on their own with this.
Moral fortitude versus depth of pocket. One of the human races eternal conflicts or at least it should be. I’m surprised it’s playing out on the world stage of football…The lot of them, sitting there being paid a fortune banging on about it makes my piss boil. If they were that bothered they could have stayed away. Do as I say not as I do has never been so apt. Qatar was awarded this years ago. Everyone knows it was corrupt but nothing said. The women moaning about the treatment of women whilst pocketing a fortune for being there after playing Sunday football is particularly infuriating.
Can't wait for the world cup of Denmark. Reckon it will be Denmark Vs Denmark in the final. Will be good for the host nation.This could get interesting

I get the hunch that the US will try and take a stab at running or being most influenceable in world football, if the fall or wobble of FIFA occurs. I note the vigour that they went after Warner and co in a US court that the phoenix that morphs will have US influence written all over it. Still think the world power base of football belongs in Europe, but this version of FIFA from Europe is setting the game back decades.No matter what happens I think there is going to be fall out between the big European teams and FIFA after this fiasco of a World Cup.
Maybe too late for most but I think they played the game were they gave FIFA enough rope to hang themselves. Boycotting and withdrawing before the tournament in the long run may not be as effective as let FIFA f&&k it up. After it’s over mount a concerted campaign against them.
In the years leading up to this there were enough opportunities and reasons for FIFA to do their jobs and move the venue for 2022.
The smaller non traditional nations are now running FIFA and it has all ended up with this bollocks in the desert.
if they do i will show my bare erse in George sq - they defo wontBet they don’t!
