"Victoriaaaa, pick out your best burka" that part killed me 😂😂😂
Most of the people should go and explore other countries do not trust this type of vlog
Ask your partner or even try first yourself and see how you feel
Totally agree
I love Qatari tacos, Mexican curry, Indian pizza and Moroccan sushi. I'm David Beckham and I endorse this message
On the other hand, if you look, tacos are apparently more popular in Qatar than Chinese takeaway in America.
This message is perfection. Like Qatar.
We don't need Mr Beckham to market India....all we want from you brits is Ali G!!!
This is not twitter, mate.
@@mwilson5449 The total population of Qatar is the size of the takeaway market of NYC. GTFOH
That speech! His PR team were seriously trolling him 🤣
How can you say today I feel gay? It's about as meaningful as saying today I feel like a f@ckin chocolate muffin grrr
It's almost saying that if I can feel gay then gay people can feel straight for a day or two.
It's dismissive.
Would have been amazing if after that speech the qatari officials told him he had to leave qatar since he openly said he felt gay
he is about 40 years behind from the "trend" =P (the one where Sweeds would call in gay, and since that was seen as a sickness back then, they would not be coming in to work =)
To be fair, I'm gay and I often feel like a chocolate muffin. But what a tw*t that guy is.
😂
Its mental how people just sweep all the misconduct under the rug
If you call this sweeping under the rug, where every single western media outlet has been having a human right boner in the last month, despite this being over 5 years ago,then I don't know what you call highlighted.
If you can name a single country without blood, corruption and evil in their recent past then il concede.
Everything is swept under the rug when it's about a white western nation or if those white western nations can't afford to say anything e.g china.
Because humans are basically selfish until it happens to them.
Yeah yeah yeah, but yis can't get on the plane to Dubai fast enough 🙄
Yeah but we do it all the time. Why is this different?
did it in 2018 when Russia hosted it
So sad seeing so many turn a blind eye to the reprehensible corruption within the world of football.
Oh get real, this is what we do in the WORLD, we don’t care about anything but our own fulfilment and satisfaction. Clean up our own Country which has enough crap going on when it comes to abuses. People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones is the saying. We are so keen on looking at others we forget to clean our own mess. Everyone get off your high horse. Everyone very respectful of the atrocities going on in Palestine against the innocent humans and the illegal occupiers are free to bomb and maim whoever they want whenever they want. Now that is reprehensible. But why so quiet on that the biggest human rights abuses happening daily yet you jump on Qatar? What don’t you know about that, or was there not a bandwagon you could have conveniently jumped on for that?
@@MA-ts9qt Erm, just because human rights abuses are going on in other parts of the world, that does not make said abuses ok in Qatar, or anywhere else. Stop being a partisan idiot for a second, and try engaging your brain.
I am with you but I am curious why the fixation on this country's human rights issues and not the others?
@@TCt83067695 In Russia, you are technically allowed to be queer - you just cant flaunt it - and even that did have a backlash... Football has, within this centry, tried to give us an idea that they are doing everything they can to be inclusive - until now... If you happened to be gay and in any of these teams, you could be jailed - just by existing... In the end, the message is - be any kind of queer and you souldnt do elite sports, unless you wanna be jailed or die...
But you're OK with killing a million in Iraq for oil? At least they swapped all their oil for a Pride March. Lucky them.
I love ...sitting in the middle of nowhere, eating and drinking...i love visiting spice markets 😆
That last statement has quite a dubious slant, considering the name of the band his wife was once in!
🤣🤣
My mum has been following football and didn't know much about Qatar. I told her "Hey, mum, you know there are 62 countries where I could be killed, imprisoned, and/or tortured.
My brother shouted from the other room: "Which one do you want to try first?!"
I love my family. :D
LMFAO!!!
In most of those countries you would have to have sex publicly to be imprisoned, which im sure you could avoid whilst on holiday. (and at home, because its illegal here to)
Are you so morally depraved that now you're even advocating for Incest
I am so jealous
@@Kushagra.j My brother was trying to get me out of the country with a girlfriend, but that is a very strange (and gross) take.
David Beckham has "seen a real football culture" in Qatar.
He also really likes their food culture as he loves a good taco.
The guy knows he's not in Mexico, right?
Does he know where he is? He's never been th brightest bulb on th Christmas tree 🌲 except where it comes to signing lucrative business contracts.
@@snelgrave101 I love when they sent him to Brazil for the world cup in 2014, and dinglebrains was speaking "Spanish" to Brazilians...why can't Anglophones ever understand that they speak Portuguese in Brazil?!
Honestly, it would make sense if he were doing all this while doped out the ass.
@@lenawagenfuehr53 Gary Lineker speaks Spanish, and Catalan, and it was good enough for him to interview the Brazil manager, who obviously spoke Portuguese..😊
David where is Qatar on the ap…..duuuuuuuh….
All the good Beckham could do and he chooses to do good to his bank balance. Apparently there is never enough money for him.
Yup by the looks of it
Beckam was more outraged at the prank statue they made of him than the appalling state of affairs in Qatar
That shows how shallow he is! 😡
Beckam is a proper T**t, I always knew it.
Which appalling state of affairs are we talking about
@@saj3002 Bless you..
"Appalling state of affairs in Qatar" ☠️ My brother in Allah you are a westerner
I thought he was gonna belt out “i feel pretty oh so pretty” in his speech 😂
Pretty and witty and gay? Would fit with the rest of the speech 🤣
vacant!
The truest saying ever - " money goes to money" !!!
The 'I Feel' segment at the start felt like old school Russell Howard 😂
The cheers for the Fred West patio joke and the burqa joke confirmed a lot about the audience. 🤣
Exactly
Pretty good jokes though
People who know 'humour' when they hear it.
@@TimmsMJ If you think so. It kind of confirms my initial comment. 😂
I understand when people who genuinely don’t have the ability to say no are going.
But Neville and Beckham have SO. MUCH.
They don’t need to go. They could not go and make a massive impact.
Greed is f*ing disgusting.
Anyone offered you 150million you would sell your arse.
Rich people have never enough
spot on. as if the beckhams would starving lol
Neville rightly believes that the World Cup should be held in the Middle East, Africa and every region on the planet. It isn't the European and North America Cup - it is the World Cup and Qatar/Arabian Gulf is part of the World.
@@I.Musaa2008 Not the *civilised* world, is not.
Is there any day of the year when Infantino feels a corrupt charlatan?
Oooouh ! I like that one 😂
It is very very unfair that a footballer earns millions for playing a game while many in the UK earn peanuts working shit jobs for minimum wage. The world needs to change and reward the hard workers and pay low wages to those at the top having a party who just point fingers and tell people what to do.
I've said that before people who enjoy their jobs (hobbies) playing football should get minimum wage and people who hate their jobs(probably 90% of the population) should get tonnes of cash but unfortunately it can't be like that. But it's the public who pay the footballers wages and they are the ones who make them FILTHY rich.
But what pisses me of when these footballers moan got to play too many games and got to retire at 30 plus. I would have loved to have retired at 30 with millions in the bank.
I'm a carer, need I type more
@@pabo-qv3nx That's really stupid.
What about the people who enjoy being nurses, doctors ,carers, teachers and police officers by your logic because they enjoy their job despite being essential pillars of the community, They don't deserve a higher wage because they enjoy what they do.
I agree footballers don't deserve such high wages but the reason they get such high wages is because people give them so much money in the first place sponsorships. Give them so much money. The fans give them so much money The market has determined that they're worth that much, so that's what they get paid.
We might disagree but unless we're going to bring on communism, there's nothing we can do about the high wages that footballers get other than boycott football and their sponsors.
@@pinkdiamond1847
Doctors nowadays are in it for the money. And that's 5 careers you mentioned but I'm on about people working in factories warehouses etc etc they DEFINITELY dont enjoy those jobs. People just work to make ends meet especially nowadays.
I totally agree that with politicians
The people who should have big pay packets are the ones who are saving lives doctors nurses and also arm forces
Second to them should be the worker bee in shops without them you wouldn't have a supermarket people need to appreciate these people without them we would be fucked
I love watching you Russell! I suffer with depression; you lift my spirits and give me the gift of laughter! Many many thanks!❤😊🎉
stay laughing.... love and light ❤️
Elis James and John Robins keep me sane and laughing.
And you too Russell (sorry, that was a tad rude 😔/😁).
Well Beckham couldn’t sign a deal to be “the voice of the World Cup” with his voice! 😂
🤣
He could replace Joe Pasquale as the Underdog ad
(Hope I spelled that right
Thank you Russell you splendid diamond of a human. I just love how you can draw out laughter with your uplifting and moral humour out of what would otherwise be painful. We so enjoy your hour on Sky
Russell does a good job. But the UK is hypocritical considering our behaviour around the world.
he is a socialist got nothing to do with being human he has his own narrative to what he is paid to say.

"Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger." Tim Minchin
Is this similar to how n word is used?
@@lelu810 listen to "Prejudice " by Tim Minchin
There's a great documentary series about FIFA on Netflix detailing the history of graft. It's not surprising they gave Qatar the WC. The teams should have refused to go. It's a terrible place to have a football cup. The weather, restrictions and above all the dreadful human rights abuse.
the 2030 WC might end up in Saudi-Arabia.... That'll be fuuuuuun....
to be fair - the players are not at fault here - everyone higher then that are - football unions etc. for supporting this back step in development within the culture
I totally agree, teams and fans should have boycotted!!!!
Human rights are bigger than the game!
@@1.masterpiece please I want to know which country is so morally upright to the point that they can host it
"Today, .....I feel gay....." very brave to say that in Qatar...
As frustrating as it is... I can't totally blame people for looking the other way, it's a mentality that has been encouraged throughout the UK for as long as I can remember. Not just around football, around anything. Coporate entities and public figures with PR teams have gotten very good at performative gestures of morality. But then a money making opportunity comes up and their supposed values dry up. So it's little wonder that's something that's somewhat ingrained itself in people's psyches.
There's also this element of... I don't think it's possible to be an ethical consumer in a capitalist society. Nearly everything we touch, be it a piece of technology or even some of the food on our tables, either has a bodycount or a big negative environmental impact, often both. We don't often see this because we've outsourced so much to poorer nations, but over time more and more people have tried to bring our attention to it. But the more we learn, the more we find ourselves unable to make a difference, as even the social media devices we use to communicate our anger are part of this. So I think that a willingness to sweep things under the rug becomes almost a mental survival technique, as truly processing all the evil of the world that is wrought by our consumption is enough to drive one past despair. And once you overlook one or two things, it gets easier and easier to overlook others.
I don't say this to excuse it. I'm not making an argument in favour of willful ignorance. From my experience (futilely) arguing with work colleagues and trying to change minds, I think we need to understand the above when we engage with people about this. If we understand WHY they're averse to facing the reality, maybe it'll be easier to make an argument that they're sympathetic to.
Well said,
Spot on, it sickens me. So quick to dismiss & ignore in this country unfortunately the point of no return has long gone
You'd like "The Good Place" (may still be on Netflix) - a comedy that makes a brilliant argument along these lines.
Very well put.
More than 6% of Qatar's LNG export goes to the UK (the whole of Europes sums up to more than 23%). I never heard anyone say they will boycott Qatar's natural gas
@@laestrella9727 I try to watch that show once a year, absolute corker and always inspires me to TRY and be a better person.

Hypocrites
@@jamesscottvideos Russel Brand is a shill though. Unfortunately
@@paulflint6254 that's possible.
Apparently they are going to host the Winter Olympics next
Oh absolutely
Why can't they at least have summer Olympics.
Always enjoy Russel's comedy.
That being said, the underlying racism and hypocrisy of the BBC when it comes to football is just appalling. FIFA has been a corrupt organization for a long time, yet it's only brought up when a "unworthy" country hosts a big tournament. All the negative press, the incorrect reporting on the fan village ( why not show the match viewing outdoor lounges, restaurants, food buffet), the noise about alcohol ban when it clearly exists across many other stadiums, it all wreaks of the underlying idea that African/Asian countries shouldn't be "allowed" to host a big event. It feels strange to be writing a serious comment on a comedy video, but really, if England is that serious about it's morality, then why not put your money where your mouth is and boycott the tournament. ..... Hypocrites.
The hypocrisy doesn't end there. If you object to the 'Qatarisation' of towns and cities in England, they will label you racist etc.
it's a shame they couldn't divide those 150mill between all the workers. Taking advantage of disadvantaged people just because they accept it is not moral at all. As someone that was in Qatar for a year I can tell you a few stories but it is a golden cage.
One should also mention that those workers had absolutely nor rights, their passports confiscated and couldn't live the country unless allowed by their employers.
Yes they were turned into Slaves. Kafala indentured servants. Over 6,500 people died building this ridiculous WC.
Funny how no one talks about england shirts which sell for £130 but Thai workers who work crazy hours to make them get paid £1 an hour. QAtar May have started with £1 an hour but improved wages and made sure workers have spacious flats to live in. And if you don’t know and believe hypocrite media I suggest you don’t listen to the media and learn facts
Apparently nobody seems to care that this kind of treatment of construction workers is universal
No one cares, nothing to do with me or my people
OMG!! That’s horrific The beautiful game just got ugly
truly enjoyed your analysis of "football" in Qatar; what a uniquely strange choice for a sport that celebrates LIFE! And I guess David Beckham's acceptance of the huge payment is proof that one can never have TOO MUCH money! So glad you are following in the footsteps of the Royal Joker who points out that the King has no clothes!
Money corrupts people sadly. Seen it with even religious people. Sadly can't trust no one. Why it's best not to be obsessed or chase after it
David be like 'I love lamp '
When Mesut Ozil tried to shine a light on human rights abuses China inflicted on the Uyghurs, he was universally neglected or vilified by the West, now all the West wants to talk about is Qatar's human rights abuses. Hypocrisy at its best. I'm not defending Qatar or the Fifa, by the way.
The hypocrite here is Mesut Özil who has no problem whatsoever with the human rights abuses by his buddy Erdogan.
Easy target…
that's because they weren't true...they were absolute western bollocks, propaganda bullshit u melt
That’s the thing with Qatar, human rights only apply to the right kind of humans.
@nineelevenwasgood6308 sure buddy, is it the only defence you got?
Im so glad Russell is the social justice warrior we all need and isn't just doing it for money and laughs.
I know David didn't set a good example but you can also be paid to say what you genuinely think
SJWs are cucks!
you got that right.. its for views and subscribers. Now you tell me why have all these people been completely sitent all these years.. why now when there is nothing you can do to stop it??
Where was the outrage when russia host it and what about the olympiqs in China?
The clips in this video are the most scenes I've seen of the football
Teams should have refused to play, people should refuse to watch. Shows how much people actually care.
We shud boycott the usa world Cup then hhahahaha
No one is boycotting anything, We talk the Talk and then sit down on our fat arses, because we are too lazy to walk the Walk, probably get lost anyway cus we can’t speak any language but our own

It's been there for long time and with our memory we'll forget and love him again soon for something else.
Here's a small consolation in all this: Qatar's national team just became the first team to be eliminated from the World Cup
I'd laugh if they just cancelled the rest of the tournament & then they just kidnapped all the rich twat footballers. And David Beckham.
Oh gosh
How ironic
@J N they’re burning so much, but can’t accept reality, they put more money into the UK then the actual citizens.
Great news, very fitting for them

Yall better keep this same energy when the USA hosts the world Cup
Nobody talks nicely about the USA except Americans. Plus this is a shit excuse; I get the media are hypocrites, but to expect people who are actually affected by this shit to just 'suck it up, cuz other countries do bad things as well' is insane
How much you wanna bet they won't
No ones gonna die because of the World Cup being hosted in the us nobody is saying the World Cup has to be held in a completely morally correct country cuz that doesn’t exist. The problem was that so many ppl died to build the Qatar World Cup. It’s not that hard to understand
The us have committed too many war crimes to count no ones Tryna say they’re good people but they wldnt kill anyone for a World Cup

As a ginger a love you Russ just get funnier
yes
Yes
Its infuriating when people just want to 'enjoy the game' and are getting annoyed by the obsession with the 'politics' so I guess they're saying they're happy to sweep everything wrong under the rug and never look under the rug again as long as they can watch men kick a ball around
Well. So long as Britain didn't invade a country claiming it had wmd's, sweep it under the carpet, get rich to the tune of over 50 billion and be responsible for a million lives lost as a result of it, they should take the moral high ground and tell others how to run their country. Weird thing is Britain are still, now, making billions of pounds deals with Qataris profiting from them but so long as they didn't invade Iraq, they should pursue the moral high ground. Luckily they didn't do a dozen other murderous things since then. Britain. Morally superior by being immoral and sweeping it under the carpet but nobody dare better question that. Yay to murder and theft.
Why the recent obsession? It’s been known about for almost 12 years and yet people stayed silent. And no doubt when the tournament is over people will go back to staying silent.
@@RedMarvelX Its been known about for years, except it clearly hasn't. Just because we're learning about stuff that's been going on for years doesn't mean we've all been aware of it, Qatar is a country I rarely hear about in the news. But because of the World Cup its completely out in the open and it would be hard to find someone ignorant of whats been going on now
@@silverbrumbyfan Well you prove my point. When the WC is over, the media you consume will find something else for you to get angry/passionate about and all the talk about Qatari human rights(not like many people watching have actually been to Qatar or spoken to locals to hear their perspective) will be long forgotten. China and Russia recent hosting events are good examples.

I've lived here for a decade, and Beckham is lying through his teeth, there is absolutely no football culture here. What little there is could honestly be called polar opposite to football culture anywhere else in the world. There's no football hooliganism what so ever. Basically no funny chants. None of the absolute ruckus you'd find in the west.
That being said, a lot of lies are being told that really aren't necessary with all the things that have already been brought up. One guy wrote an article saying its apparently a sweltering 37°...

FIFA: "Lets focus on the football guys, not politics or religion."
Also FIFA: "You cannot wear this armband, you must remove 'love' from your jersey, your fans can not drink beer in the stadiums, because Qatar's religion and our politics."
Also in France you can’t drink beer or alcohol and May other European counties. But no one will mention it coz it ain’t a Muslim country. When Muslim come over here they can’t bring there 4 wives because it’s illegal so Muslim have to RESPECT the law of UK. so fukin respect Qatars law of no homosexuality. Secondly allot of African countries also have the same law. Migrant workers well England shirt cost £130 in retail to buy the Thai workers get paid £1 an hour so hypocrisy is insane. And just watch all the fan videos of the fans who are in Qatar they saying themselves they loving it. So who are the people here to judge Qatar
They had to do that because they are the mediators, if a player would recieve legal consquences no one would be blamed as much as FIFA.
@@cloud6501 Any country where players would face legal consequences for putting the word love in the jersey should never be allowed to host any international event.
@@KK-fi6ms having to remove the word love from the jerseys was due to FIFA, due to "Love’ written on the inside collar as part of a collaboration with the music festival Tomorrowland, who are not an official Fifa World Cup sponsor."
The enforced removel of one love armbands is due to it being a direct endorsment and in support of the LGBT community, which isn't a suprise as the country's possition on the matter was abundantly clear from the begining.
@@cloud6501 Yeah... then from the beginning they should not have been allowed to host an event like that. They also repeatedly lied about how all will be welcome, and there would be no restrictions on alcohol, until the very last minute.

Probably because their freedom of press is about the same level as their human rights. Watch when they threatened to destroy a Danish reporters camera live on the air. So yeah, you're only seeing happy people because Qatar insists on it.
@@Interitus1 keep trying
I think people have seriously gotten so confused. Qatar is not saying "Don't be gay". They're saying that you don't need to publicise the fact that you're gay. I saw an interview where a news reporter was interviewing a Qatari representative and he said that they welcome everyone, even people who are part of the LGBTQ+ community. What they don't accept and encourage is the publicising of it. He said that it is frowned upon even when heterosexual couples are public about their relation by doing PDA. So NO, Qatar is not saying "Don't be gay", they're saying you don't need to publicise being gay.
In 2002, David Beckham was asked if he thinks footballers have a duty to talk about important issues, due to their status and platform... His answer was that he doesn't think footballers should have to because if it isn't relevant to him, he was brought up to ignore it.
This is literally what white, cisgender and straight privelege is: "if it's not about me, I don't care".
Q: What is the difference between the Encyclopedia Britannica and Beckham? A: The Britannica is only 3 feet thick...
For today's match between Qatar and Senegal, the wankers with the broadcast rights in my country hired someone who had worked in a youth academy in Qatar. Obviously he spouted some crappy propaganda, but when they wanted to cut back from that to the second half, the other expert on the couch "hijacked" the outro and slotted in some harsh criticism of the human rights situation. He wasn't eloquent (he's a ex-footballer and he was rushing and improvising), but I loved that he couldn't let that turd burger stand without comment.
Brilliant🤣 Say Hi to your mum for me!😍😜
Western media has maintained its double standards against the hosting country. For instance, the BBC ignored the World Cup opening ceremony to criticize Qatar by not broadcasting it. However, the British broadcaster televised the opening ceremonies for the Russian World Cup and Beijing Olympics despite their human rights records. Moreover, the British football team has protested Qatar for labor rights, but it has been revealed that British Football Association’s shirts, which cost 115 pounds ($139), were made by Thai workers working for 1 pound an hour. Thus, while criticizing Qatar for the conditions of workers, the British turned a blind eye to the conditions of workers manufacturing their shirts!
Qatar: where every millionaire feels like a king & everyone else isn't anybody
England. Where chavs murdered a million Iraqis and still didn't get a discount at the petrol pumps.

0:30 I can SORTA see what he was trying to do with that speech ... but hooboy, it really did NOT work.
Missed opportunity for the FIFA President to say, "today, I feel like a woman".
I know! One of the more marginalised groups in most of the Middle East. As Shania Twain would say "Man! I feel like a woman!"
Nope we have to champion LGBT before we even think of half of the population 🙄
I would trust all the foreign vloggers right there at Qatar sharing their honest experiences about Free healthcare and Free transport for football fans and about the good food and great accommodation (with video evidence off-course) rather then trusting the bogus media propaganda or Russell Howard.
Can you imagine someone called Iraw Potts seeing this on live tv... 🤭
Half empty stadiums its a shame fifa dnt give a shit about football fans only money
That Burhka joke is gold. 😂👏🏿
Only women don't need to wear a burka in Qatar, wrong country mate
Cricket didn't mind apartheid, football couldn't give a s#it about human rights. Neither do most of the fans, best avoided, yep the fans too.
