It's called Stadium 974 because 974 is the area code for Qatar, but also because it's made out of 974 shipping containers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the commentators said in the game yesterday that Uruguay might be taking some of the containers to re-use in some way to make a new stadium.

He’s been suffering from what he thought was severe bronchitis for a week, so maybe he had some underlying heart issue he wasn’t aware of? It does seem very weird though.

Subscriber nudge+ 15,328 Posted December 10, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted December 10, 2022 The weirdest part for me - if true - is that he was reportedly brought to the hospital in an UBER after the paramedics at the stadium attempted to resuscitate him for 30 minutes. Wtf, don't they have ambulances at the stadiums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say it's suspicious considering that he was sick and sought medical care twice, but if the Uber reports are true, then that's extreme medical negligence.

He did get sick after being in custody for wearing his rainbow shirt I thought I'd read somewhere though. I mean if this is nearly anywhere else in the world it wouldn't be questioned really.

Devil 1,179 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Just have a general feeling it's going to be a repeat of the final four years ago. Just hope and pray Croatia can win it from here, I've always had a strange connection to them and I'd love them to defend their way to the title.

Subscriber nudge+ 15,328 Posted December 12, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted December 12, 2022 16 raids have been carried by the Belgian police over the weekend as part of an international investigation into claims that football World Cup host Qatar sought to buy influence, six people were arrested and four were charged with corruption, money laundering and organized crime. The suspects include current and former members of European Parliament, as well as the general secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation. Several NGOs are involved, too. The biggest name is Eva Kaili, the Vice-President of the European Parliament, who has been since relieved of her duties, and her family assets have been frozen.

I don’t think any medical practitioners can force someone to pay debts. It may fuck up a person’s credit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
