I see it differently. Since soccer is a world sport. Why not have it over there? It’s a way different culture and we should accept it. Westerner praise about acceptance yet only when it’s convenient is kind of dumb. The world is so big and I like the fact that it’s at muslim world. it test how much acceptance westerners allow the world….and it shows (isn’t much)…. It’s like those “No room for racism” arm bans but once the black player misses the PK in the euro cup it was monkey and banana everywhere from English fans! LOL shows how much hypocrisy in the human brain.
I don’t like politics into the game but that’s how it went. Blame it on the media not the game nor the players.
