If you can't watch sports without drinking, that's called alcoholism.

[@AzaysForSale]

Lolololol

[@anthonydsouza5038]

Ultimately, it's all about freedom and individual liberty. If you don't enjoy watching football whilst drinking it's your choice and if you do it's your choice. But, the real question is, did the Qatari government give this liberty to the fans like Western governments do, NO.

I was in Qatar for about 10 days with my 10 years son to watch the WC and visit Middle East for first time in my life. My summary in one sentence: when landed back in San Francisco, I felt I landed in a third world country! Kudos to Qatar for organizing a beautiful WC, top notch infrastructure, very kind people (nationals and residents), family friendly place… I am definitely going back to visit with my wife and daughters this time. Drinking was limited to specific areas like the fan zone. For me that was perfect! I felt extremely safe with my kid, we stayed up late at night everywhere in Doha, it was magical. You don’t see the drunk morons shouting in streets at night. It was a lot of fun though and with 0% alcohol! Visit Souq Waqif any evening or simply check KZbin videos, it was fun, family fun. I came back with an immense respect for Qatar the country and Qatar the people. Thank you Qatar. For some of the European media crying and immigrants rights, it’s the same media crying apocalypse when an African migrants boat arrives to European shores. All hypothetical and pure jealousy towards Qatar!

It looks to me like the norms around what you wear seem pretty relaxed. What Islam asks for in fact is modesty around dress. I've known women to travel in North Africa, Turkiye, the Middle East, and Central Asia, and they've all been more modest about how they dress and not had problems. The same for men. The point is, you're a visitor, you're not at home, respect the culture.

Good Job, Qatar! I wish I could be there enjoying the circumstances...

[@laibanush5431]

Middle Eastern countries are the safest countries in the world for women because of the strict laws against any sexual immorality or abuse and also the law which bans alcohol! Western countries can never give women such high level security!

[@laibanush5431]

@@hermitpermit2553 Why would you speak against a country, their religion, impose foreign ideologies among their public and as a consequence cause unrest and expect them to not punish you in return? Punishing law breakers is very much needed for the peace of any country.

[@mahaa3581]

Switzerland, New Zealand, finland, iceland, Netherlands etc are ranked the most safest counties for women. In Muslim countries, if you are given social security outside, you still have to deal with the oppressive regressive family/inheritance laws :(

@@mahaa3581 please inheritance laws? a women inherit two times ... one is from the parents and the other is from the husband ... and sometimes a women could get everything while the worst case for a woman is to get less than a man ... and the worst case for a man is to get nothing ... do not spread such lies and misconceptions

[@SensationalSeafairy]

I was born and raised in middle east as a woman. Your claim couldn’t be farther from the truth. The reason it sounds safe is because it always happens behind the doors and talking about it is an absolute taboo. I don’t know any woman around me who hasn’t experienced sexual harassment. Not to mention domestic violence which is pretty common.

3 months ago, i saw a bit from a football match between national teams of Morocco and Senegal (female teams), Moroccan ladies were absolutely stunning, they are highly skilled, better than many male teams

Lol wamens team would stand zero chance against the men, they would lose by double digits.

[@immewhoareyou4077]

I feel as a man, if you cant enjoy sports without liquor or drinking in general, you either admitting you are an alcoholic or you are too weak to put it down. How pathetic does “ futbol and beer go hand in hand for me.” Get a grip man you are not here for the drinks but the experience of the world cup, you drink and have been drunk enjoy times in ur life to chill out for a bit.

[@Pondermonarchie]

Just imagine the kind of destructive behavior you would’ve seen from fans of big teams like England as their teams are now losing one by one if alcohol was allowed freely!

primal aggression and a lack of inhibitions is a bad combo.. men get hit, and women get hit-on. i think everyone felt safe at this World Cup.

[@zaydgajia3478]

1:40 To the lady that felt uncomfortable…I guess you got that feeling because us men feel uncomfortable too, seeing women in shorts. Men and women with respect for their deen/religion feel unease when men/women show their private area/satar. Just the way it is fortunately, once we dress modestly there’s nobody we can displease.

[@believer-qm3hv]

Not only men, probably everyone including women gave that look, because people in Qatar are not used to seeing such clothes. Doesn't mean all of them are judging, though. Most of them were probably just shocked.

I'm displeased when pretty women are being too modest, well, I do tolerate modesty from the less attractive ones. I will be so sad living in a country where 99% of the women are hidden like ninja, I mean seriously, so sad.

Why don't people just let football alone? We all have our own point of view about things, but we can keep it for our selves at home while enjoying the game.

[@NA-rq9rz]

Qatar organized the best world cup in history (and I've been to seven). It was well organized, convenient, clean, safe, family-friendly, special needs friendly, woman-friendly, and most of all FUUUUNNNNNN. So many events to go to and things to do, and a complete harmony of fans from all cultures and all parts of the world.
