📗 Tifo's new book, "How to Watch Football" is now available to pre-order internationally: linktr.ee/tifobook
In the 2nd episode of our Qatar World Cup Explained series - we look at Qatar’s aspirations to grow as a footballing nation, how they tried and failed with naturalisation, and how by watching others invest in the global game Qatar plan to transform their own economy.
Leaning into football legends Maradona & Pele to open their Aspire Academy, this set the pace for Qatar's grand footballing aspirations and their eventual route to hosting the biggest football tournament in the world.
Written by James Montague and illustrated by Alice Devine.

I think it would be really cool if Tifo collaborated with Jon Bois and the Secret Base team. The one thing I wish Secret Base would do would be more football content. I have actually written a rough Collapse-style script about Alex Ferguson's final season

There was this kid when i was growing up that was profoundly unpopular in our school. I'll call him Andres. However, Andres was the only kid with enough money to buy nice footballs. So he would buy nice balls, bring them to school, and everyone felt obliged to talk to him or follow his rules (it was his ball after all). It never made him any more popular but it did, in a way, make him more powerful. I feel like sports in the middle east is like Andres. No one really likes them any more than they did before, but they have some semblance of power now so we play by their rules.

@theportugueselegend Жыл бұрын

Kind of. You only played with Andres' ball because you didn't want to play with your ball and friends. Also, Andres didn't respect anybody or any beliefs unless they aligned with his. Also, he broke all the rules at school and was unpopular for a reason

Unbelievably good. I lived in the middle east for 21 years but didn't know much of this. Best coverage I have seen so far. Something people who never lived there don't know is how a lot of the actions taken by the gulf countries stems from jealous and competition amongst them. One thing I hope Tifo touches on is how much Saudi Arabia and UAE want Qatar World cup to fail!!!
