World Cup critics are 'arrogant'

I dunno, sometimes. Ya, a little but at least I didn't kill 6500 foreign workers. That's worse than being arrogant.

and 'cannot accept' Qatar as hosts, says foreign minister

Correct.

I prefer the word “morals” - critics have morals and refuse to support a country and an organization as corrupt as Qatar and fifa.
