" Qatar's World Cup Slaves "
Glad Huffpo is running the story and video, as Americans usually don't get to see/hear much about these sort of things in the GCC.

Re: WC 2022
........... Qatar "expresses concern" at the reports of workers being treated like slaves...... but this morning has tracked down the whistleblower and booted him out of the country anyway..........

Re: WC 2022
The obvious solution is to have the World Cup in England - permanently !

Re: WC 2022
The National reported yesterday that an Israeli, who plays for a Dutch team on their winter training camp in Dubai, was refused entry to the country. Qatar does not allow Israeli passports either, so let's hope Israel qualify for 2022.

Re: WC 2022
Oh yes please. And while we're at it, I would expect the west (and the US in particular) to ensure that all western companies reject any contract for work in Qatar which includes a clause on boycott of Israeli goods, which is common in the region.

Re: WC 2022
How is it different to US Government contracts having clauses specifically prohibiting the use of Iranian nationals as consultants?... as I have seen.
