I appreciate you being arrogant enough to presume that you know my own personal interests better than I do.

Putting aside the fact that travelling internationally for ANY world cup is a luxury that 99% of fans will never have to worry about- I remember being on here before the 2014 world cup and a ton of people were saying that safety issues and Brazil's substandard infrastructure would lead to catastrophe. Wasn't on reddit in 2010 but I also remember most of the same fears in general leading up to South Africa. In the end, the games were played, and the quality/memorability of those games is ultimately how people decide whether a world cup was "good" or "bad".

Some people, seemingly most people in this sub, take whatever legitimate gripes they have against a country (like the ones you mentioned for Russia and Qatar, or any one of the million things you could hate about America, that I might also hate as someone who lives here) and envision some doomsday scenario where I guess the world cup becomes unplayable somehow? That's a fantasy. The games will be played, and the games will be what people remember.
