Yes, it’s fun to root for countries like Iran and Ghana against the more established teams in Europe and South America. MSM is just focusing on criticizing Qatar because they’re oriental or whatever and wouldn’t do the same to any other host. Qatar sucks, but it’s no worse than most countries that have hosted the WC. Fascist Italy hosted, Chile and Mexico were killing leftists when they hosted, do I even have to start with the US or Canada? However, it doesn’t get any better or worse whether I “boycott” it or not, so might as well have some fun watching it.
