The 2022 World Cup is going to be the first to be held in the Arab world, but imagine a time loop where we have jumped to another universe, and that Arab country was not Qatar but Lebanon.
Here’s how the World Cup would go if it was hosted in the Lebanese Republic.
1. Seats would be divided by sect
Then the whole thing would be held up in a dispute between politicians over who gets the bigger numbers (but Randa Berri would surely nail 49%).
2. El Lira bterja3
All the $$$ flooding would definitely save the country and Riad Salame would have his “I told you so” moment.
3. Someone would hold up a stadium to get their deposits back
World Cup sponsored by Bank Audi.
4. They would build a new stadium that has a capacity of 10,452
5. White people would re-colonise the streets
Imagine seeing a barrage of white people with their painted faces marching down the streets of Beirut.
6. Dating would be allowed
7. It would be held on time, in the summer of 2022
Sorry mafi air conditioned stadiums here, ma hatta fi kahraba.
8. People would make jokes about keef “dabbaro l visa”
