2022 FIFA Men's Soccer World Cup
The 2022 FIFA Men's Soccer World Cup is played in Qatar between 20 November–18 December. Because of the summer heat, the tournament was postponed from the average June and July scheudle, to what in the West corresponds to the Christmas and holiday season.
Many people are concerned, since the stadiums have been built by migrant workers from Bangladesh, India, Nepal and the Philippines. The employers not only pay horrible wages, but also require the employees to work under what can be described as horrible slave labour-like conditions, and even take their passports away. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/11/13/f...ntl/index.html Still, it is one of the world's biggest sporting events. Team Italy failed to qualify for second time in a row, and I'm not sad. They won the European Championship in mid 2021 by constantly diving and simulating, pretending to be wounded. They're nothing else than movie stars, and horrible ambassadors for the sport of soccer. ==Participating teams== *Qatar *Ecuador *Senegal *Netherlands *England *Iran *USA *Wales *Argentina *Saudi Arabia *Mexico *Poland *France *Australia *Denmark *Tunisia *Spain *Costa Rica *Germany *Japan *Belgium *Canada *Morocco *Croatia *Brazil *Serbia *Switzerland *Cameroon *Portugal *Ghana *Uruguay *South Korea ==Broadcasting television networks== *Sweden: SVT, TV4 Sweden *UK: BBC, ITV, S4C *USA; Fox, Telemundo Last edited by Original TMNT Cartoon Fan; 11-17-2022 at 08:20 AM. |
