Well I was referring to Russia and Qatar, mainly.

Wembley proving itself incapable of hosting a big football match was rather amusing, to be honest

They need to stick to hosting Taylor Swift concerts, imo.

I went to a concert there once. It was utter chaos. Bordering on dangerous. I think the word Hillsborough was mentioned a couple of times (by me)
