  1. We the people of the world are tired of you the fans creating chaos in the stands behave yourself appropriately and respect the country's wishes that country wants no alcohol in the stadium and you should respect that go watch a game enjoy it and then go home drink your alcohol and celebrate whether you want or lost. Celebrate a good game.

  2. Soccer players the fans they always behave violently I totally agree with the country do not allow alcohol at the soccer game you the fans go see a good game without alcohol and behave yourself appropriately.

  3. Screw you Budweiser no alcohol at soccer games they are violent enough no alcohol at soccer games I agree with the country of qatar's decision

  4. Good, they don't call it fire water in indigenous America for nothing 👍

  5. If they banned the water it wouldn't be a scandal like this.

  7. Bla bla bla .. nobody is talking about this after the tournament lol

  8. why did they keep mispronouncing it?

  9. FIFA got away with selling Budweiser in the Brazilian stadiums in the World Cup 2014 even though that was a country's law due to the violence fueled by alcohol in stadiums. I guess now that Blatter is not running the show, they couldn't get away with breaking this law.

  10. But is anyone going to ignore the fact that NBC News butchered the heck out of qatar's name. She kept pronouncing Qatar as "Cutter". SMH.

  11. Qatar not cutter lol😂

  12. Love QATAR🇶🇦🇶🇦

  13. Why ppl can't survive without alcohol, they should seek doctors

  14. All we get in sports in the Asian and Muslim taking all of it from us. Bet they stage our Olympics there next before the N. Korean get it.

  15. Go Qatar!!🇶🇦🇶🇦🇶🇦

  16. The Media bandits. Telling BS stories. Atleast pronounce the name of the country well. Oh btw, I didn't know migrant workers don't die in the UK and US

  17. I cancelled my trip after realizing alcohol was banned. Not coming mates. 😉

  18. Qatar built a sports complex with essentially slave labor, and the topic of beer is the scandal lol.. Good job FIFA at deflecting..

  19. 6500 slaves died. News outlets should mention them constantly 🤔. Qatar bot farm out in force.

  20. They should’ve marijuana available atleats

  21. Our country Our RULES✊ respect us or get out👋

  22. Those who are christian, Jew and obviously muslim they are happy! Because alcohol is haram in all religion!!!!

  23. Oh this is brilliant. The corrupt dungheap known as FIFA just enraged one of their largest sponsors, a corporation that nearly produces all beer on Earth. Let’s hope that selling this World Cup to a theocratic slave-state sinks them.

  24. When you need to be loud obnoxious and drunk 😒what a waste anyway

  25. Soccer sucks so does islam so do cave man arab countries

  26. bro but why this so much hate on Qatar you could talk about the crimes of the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan and Israel in Palestine. The West should not talk about human rights before they do it in their own countries.

  27. Stop politicizing the World Cup, no country is perfect and such is USA, let us enjoy the games!

  28. Please America has more human rights violations than Qatar. Lets talk about how many more innocent people America has killed all over the world than Qatar.

  29. bruh saying cutter instead of Qatar, it is pronounced "kuh-taar"
