Roy Keane and Graeme Souness deliver powerful speech on Qatar World Cup

Roy Keane has fired a strong message towards FIFA and Qatar as he claimed the World Cup "shouldn't be here" ahead of Argentina's game against Saudi Arabia.

The former Manchester United midfielder, working for ITV, claimed that the corruption surrounding the tournament, accompanied by the LGBTQ laws and the way migrant workers were treated are major factors behind why he doesn't think Qatar should've been given the World Cup.
