The thing is, there was some small murmurings about Qatar having the world cup before it started, but it kicked off mostly during the cup itself. With all the protests, the pseudo virtue signaling, and the moaning about Qatar, FIFA would have been loving it, because the anger wasn't directed at them, for being the corrupt enabling pricks that they are.
To put it analogy wise, your mate takes your dog into your bedroom and encourages it to poop on your pillow. Instead of getting angry with your mate, you direct your anger at the dog. A couple of days later, your mate, feeling a good sense of impunity, takes your dog back up into your bedroom again.
The real issue isn't the countries hosting the cup. Its the greedy corrupt anti football scum that enable it.
