Tis symbolic of racist attitudes in that region. The life of a Nepalese worker is equal in value to the media attention it gets.

We should look more locally for the solution though. If European federations had any guts they would have refuse to take part in the tournament unless workers conditions are ultimately proven to have met acceptable standards.

If that was British workers ...

Qatar is Blatter's one-off pension scheme so he ain't bothered.

This is like the Ancient Egyptians building the pyramids to satisfy the over-inflated egos of the powers-that-be. Hundreds died in the making of those relics, and for what?

I didn't think that any of the construction work had begun on infrastructure or stadiums for 2022 yet?

That aside. It's totally scandalous, regardless of what they are building. Qatar is without doubt the worst country I've ever visited.


EDIT - just saw a paragraph in the Guardian article stating work had begun on a stadium.

Life is a cheap commodity if you're a foreign labourer in that country. Not that Blatter or his buddies could give a toss.

Spot-on. Never was any money to be made by FIFA and businesses in mainland Europe after all the stadiums,hotels,transport etc are here already.

Would this indicate that Elf & Safety is not taken seriously?
When play does commence its a good chance that players will be added to the death toll, considering the high temperatures expected, it would be interesting to know who voted for Qatar to host the games.
