I would not pass the 'cricket test'. I tend to favour other countries over England particularly if the preamble was overly partisan and full of hubris (which is always). Zlatan's bicycle kick? Excellent. Gazza crying. Quite funny.

Ahaha, even this dodgy crook is now saying that Qatar was a mistake.

Hindsight or just self serving shit stirring?
A bit of both perhaps.
My interest level in the World Cup has never been lower. I didn't realise that it was imminent until just a few days ago. Meh.
I hope no parties were mistreated in creating this game

Amazing how uninterested everyone seems, but yeah with the local leagues still running I think many proper football fans have other things on their minds, and so the rest of us aren't getting swept along in the usual anticipation.
Hope the 2024 Olympics in Paris runs normally... so long since we've had a big non dictatorship non covid big sporting event.
December is a time to look forward to spending time with family with Christmas around the corner. Always associated December with gloomy cold football days. Only exception is the thrill of Boxing day fixtures.
Summer was always a great time for major events. Fantastic weather, watch in the beer garden, perfect excuse to spend time away from the family. A different holiday feel.
I will watch the World Cup, but can't say I have any interest.
