World Cup

Forums:

Starts on Sunday and presents a huge money making enterprise for the daring.   They just announced there will be no beer sales inside the game and alcohol sales in Qatar in general are limited to non-Muslims in a small handful of licensed restaurants, bars, and hotels with a single liquor store in the entire country. Lots of thirsty amped up futbol fans and no booze = $$$$ at one for six, two for ten in the lot.  Cue up the East Bound and Down.

Boycott the World Cup.

As we Guardian readers call it, the Human Rights World Cup.

^^^^You can keep slaves but can't buy a beer.

CO border is Plaines while Kansas City Metro is  very populated and porous. LOL

The ban on alcohol consumption appeared to apply only to fans at stadiums. Beer and other drinks, including an official FIFA Champagne and an array of sommelier-selected wines, will still be available in luxury suites reserved for FIFA officials and other wealthy guests.

Some details:

Went to a baseball game in Phoenix once and they do that there. Got in early and the roof was open, then right before the game starts they close the roof and start pumping in the AC. 

Andres Cantor, the famous announcer who's known for yelling GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL, was in my High School Graduating class! (1980)

It's worth watching the games just to listen to Andres Cantor.

I don't speak or understand Spanish, but I can follow the game better with him than with English announcers. He BRINGS the game right into my living room.

Got an empty cup that only Bud Zero can fill?

 

Croatia!
