Mr Popodopolous Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 44 minutes ago, Red-Robbo said: Likely to lead to their expulsion from Fifa. Anyone know if there's the same situation in Saudi? More than likely yet let us not forget what Blatter said once Qatar 2018 ratified/announced: Quote Blatter, who was speaking yesterday in Johannesburg, has come in for criticism following the decision to take the competition to a country where homosexuality is illegal. Current laws also mean drinking alcohol in public is forbidden, while the searing summer climate in the Middle East could see temperatures reach 40C to 50C. When asked about the issues facing gay fans, Blatter, apparently joking, said: "I would say they should refrain from any sexual activities." Apparently joking, but in breach of FIFA's own statues I'd imagine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
