The former Manchester United and England defender Gary Neville was on ITV for the World Cup coverage in Qatar and yesterday as the panel were discussing the World Cup in Qatar the Sky Sports pundit decided to include the UK government in his criticism when discussing Qatar.

While he might be right in some of his arguments there’s no doubt that a World Cup should have not have taken place in Qatar. Europe might not be perfect, far from it, but we don’t treat certain people like the Middle East treat them and that’s a fact. See Neville’s summary below;

Well said Gary Neville – lots of abuse from people who are jealous of your wealth but afraid of your social conscience. You said on HIGNFY that you would use your position as a platform – chapeau!
