lol. You’re assuming they’ll enforce the law truthfully (however stupid the law itself is). If they arrest some foreigners at random, claiming they broke some law, what are you going to do? Maybe they’ll think twice about messing with Americans or some other powerful country’s citizens, but what about other less powerful countries?

Even if you do get the case thrown out, do you really wanna go through the Qatari legal system? Get harassed by sexually repressed cops, especially if you are a woman?

The most sensible thing to do is stay home and watch the games on TV. It is not worth going to fucked up places just to watch soccer, imho.

Or better yet, don't even watch it and give them advertising revenue.

There is plenty of entertainment around that doesn't support a medieval dictator.
