Qatar and football is the winner

  Kudos to Qatar. They stood their ground. They didn’t budge to global social bullies who want to force their way of life on every other civilisation on earth. Qataris rightfully failed to comply with western values (rowdy drunken brawls after football games, nudity and unnatural sex drive (LGBTQ)). Funny enough that some of our Kala Goras are already getting edgy on hearing that boozing and LGBTQ 'One Love' are sins. No matter how much these black liberal extremists exert, it won’t change their skin colour and they would always like that outcast ugly duckling among them. What westerners and Kala Gora sb think to be values are nothing but garbage.

Is this not superior human value to respect the values of other cultures. People who are your hosts, show some respect to their way of life. See how warmly they embraced you. They are distributing their traditional drinks and dates out in the streets. Serving free meals, some have even accommodated people at their places. It’s time that west stops it’s two faced hypocrisy on every standard of life. For once a Muslim country pulled a real great show and made few billion dollars in the process, so if you can’t hail it, at least put up with it. Put pain of not making billions of dollars behind and for once live up to those fancy quotes like, "Football unites the world". 

Yes, things are not ideal in Qatar. They might have paid off some FIFA officials to win the bid but did that happen for the first time. Did countries not lobby like mad to win this prestigious bid? On the other hand, did they not build state-of-the-art stadiums. Was the distance not the least between the grounds as  compared to all previous WCs? Were the arrangements not immaculate, was the organisation not tip-top and execution not up to the mark?

Other ludicrous criticism was on treatment of migrants in Qatar. Migrant labourers are paid less in Qatar. But for those migrants, even low wages are life changing. Btw hundreds and thousands illegal migrants are working on low wages and living below human dignity in Europe and US. Coal mining industry of Europe was worst than this. Human slavery was the worst in US. US & Europe together are top in crime and racial discrimination. So please stop lecturing the rest of the world and focus on football. However, despite western media's deliberate propaganda (particularly obdurate British), what an amazing football fair we saw in Qatar in past four weeks. I have grown up watching football world cup (even followed lowly EPL) but never have seen such good quality of football. Upset after upset. No group match was one sided boring game between minos and giants. Giant slaying has been the common feature. Asian and African teams have made a statement this WC. Writing this piece right after first quarter final- Croatia vs Brazil game. Superior tactical play by Croatia kept brilliance of Brazil a-bay. Then lightening strike by Neymar in extra time which Croatia annulled through a quick break. And penalties decided the fate of the game in favour of Croatia. High drama. Even neutrals (not that hypocritical 'neutral' of Pakistan) were on the edge of their seats. I started the game as Brazil supporter and ended up supporting Croatia for their superior tactics, grit and guile. 

Despite "draconian" measures by Qatari Govt like alcohol ban in ground (less hooliganism), separate queues for women (less harassment), less inviting attire by women - a wonderful wonderful wonderful football World Cup. 

Ignorant drunkards and global social bullies may continue to lick their wounds because Qatari (Muslim) values prevailed. No matter what happens in next quarter final between Argentina vs Netherlands or who lifts the cup, Football is already a the winner.
