have you watch FIFA Uncovered ....??? odious bunch of money grabbing pricks they are , them and the Qatari's make great bed fellows , Beckham has been an ambassador for football for years , he was the figurehead along with Prince William for Great Britains failed bid when Russia won it...
So at the pointy end of the "fifa world cup" has he actually achieved anything other than promote himself , he's achieved bugger all in Qatar who are now pushing heavily to be awarded the Olympics in the near future , i didn't find his funny letters and social media stunts funny really but now ...
surely we are just debating , expressing your opinion is not getting upset , you youngsters need to realise this , we can have juxtopositional opinions and still debate without losing yer rag.
yeah , about 3 weeks ago , having seen him on 8 out of 10 cats i suppose i have to concede that he is amusing ......nobody seems to be bagging Pirlo for promoting Qatar , perhaps some Italian comedians are.:shrug:
Anyone who has a brain knows how the Emirates and Saudis operate , they have abused foreign labour for hundreds of years but they are rewarded for their transgressions whereas Europeans are given the guilt trip.
f*** em.
it depends on which angle you want to focus.....corporate greed , global price gouging , 55,000 euros for an A Class world cup final ticket , people getting thrown out of stadiums because their hats or t shirts are deemed inappropriate , 22, 000 cctv cameras with facial recognition around...
yes mate , yes .....Fifa spruiking diversity and inclusivity but England afraid to wear an armband for fear of getting booked ......thats my point, the hypocrisy is hidden in plain sight.
i was aware that he was Qatars "ambassador" for the fee of $ 150 , 000,000 .....my immediate reaction was ffs what a **** , lets wait and see what he does with the money.
Beckham was a footballing hero , he turned his footballing prowess into a multi million dollar franchise , kick started the tattoo industry , aftershave , clothing ......the guy has done very well for himself and personally i think he could have walked away from the Qatar deal as he certainly...
please bin this thread ....f***ing cringeworthy , rainbow planes , unfunny comedians and all the virtuous bollox its stirred up are embarrassing to say the least ....ffs
