While Laurent Ruquier hopes to go to Qatar to follow the France team, Thierry Ardisson does not hide his concern at this idea.
Laurent Ruquier is a football fan. The host has also multiplied the trips during the World Cups. After having attended several meetings during the 1998 World Cup, he had thus made the trip to Germany in 2006 or in 2010 to South Africa, even if the Blues had already returned to France.
“In 2014, I was in Brazil, I saw the France-Germany quarter-final, he explained on the set of C to you. Four years ago, rather than going to Russia, I chose to return to Latin America and followed the matches, first in Argentina where I saw France-Argentina. After we fell against Uruguay and since it’s right next door, hop, I went to Uruguay. And I watched with all my friends, because we travel in gangs in these cases, the France-Croatia final, in Brazil, in Rio de Janeiro. »
They’re anti-gay to death over there
And despite the controversy surrounding the organization of the World Cup in Qatar, Laurent Ruquier intends to go there to attend a few meetings. « It’s not forbidden, I want to see how it goes and then I like football and if France qualifies for the quarter-finals, it’s not forbidden for me to go there », he explained. A perspective that does not please Thierry Ardisson, the producer of his last show Yesterday Today Tomorrow, broadcast this tuesday. “I’m super worried, he’s my host,” he said, adding: ” They are anti-gay to death there. » Something to make its host smile. « But I’m not going there to flirt, I’m going there to watch football “, he asserted.
More generally, Laurent Ruquier does not understand the calls for a boycott that have flourished in recent weeks. “Place for sport I want to say. It was in 2010, I believe that we gave the organization to Qatar, it was in 2010 that we had to protest and demonstrate. Now it’s too late.” he explained.
