Let's look at neighbouring Lebanon though. Camille Chamoun Stadium in better is by far a nicer place than McMahon.

Isn't it slightly embarrassing if you had a guest from Lebanon and you wanted to show them how amazing democracy, freedom and capitalism are and you take them to a football stadium that's worse than what he has in his country?

All I'm saying is, we shouldn't set the bar so low as to have infrastructure that's just adequate.
Uhh, nope. You are failing to understand every point being made counter to yours in this thread and it is getting a tad annoying.
