QATAR vs OMAN || FIFA ARAB CUP 2021 (link goes to auto-start video) |
I played a few games of soccer twenty odd years ago. Like most sports, it's great fun, especially if you are competing against players of comparable talent. But I don't watch soccer games, and the few times I have caught a bit of a game, there didn't seem to be much in the way of strategy. It was more like guys trying to finesse their way through a cloud of chaos.
Anyway, the reason we have this photo if because I Want A New Left noticed the ads for Budweiser in the stadium (red sign just left of center in the above photo).
Another oddity was seeing Budweiser advertised in the stadium. Was that meant for the fans? Surely not, since most were Muslims, and Muslims generally don’t drink. I guess, then, that it was meant for the viewing audience, though it’s hard to know how many outsiders were watching.
P.S. According to Wikipedia, Tunisia (which is where this game was played) is 98% Muslim, but supposedly the government is secular. So maybe not all died-in-the-wool ragheads.
Since soccer(football) is pretty popular worldwide those matches may be shown in Africa, India and further.
