Great, now we can simply call footballers a bunch of overpaid Qatari stadiums.
Qatar whips covers off giant footballing vagina
Qatar has unexpectedly delighted international pundits by unveiling the design for its 2022 World Cup Al Wakrah stadium, whose roof is designed to represent "the sails of the Arabian pearl fishing boat the Dhow", but actually bearing more than a passing resemblance to a woman's nether regions. Artist's impression of the Al …

Re: don't they know any anatomy?
Seems everyone is confused. The apparently wide ignorance of the distinction does say a lot... different parties using the same term to reference different things and carrying on an endless conversation that doesn't seem to have much traction. Head-shakingly sad.

Laughs aside, I'd be interested to know how they are going to manage that rather impressive feat of cooling. My understanding was that the stadiums would be air conditioned. The very open nature to the design implies that is not the case so I wonder how they'll drop the incoming air temperature 24 degrees.

Maybe, but the air-conditioning requirement would be for the comfort of (international) spectators too and unless I'm seeing things, it looks like the areas behind the seating is open too. Also, how would you cool the center of the pitch without compressors so strong as to generate interesting air conditions and, by extension, unduly affect the flight of the ball?
Whatever, there's cricket on today.

Expert on womens' genitalia
Don't be so hard on Ms. Breswell. I would hardly expect a woman to be an expert on womens' genitalia [1] in general. Most have rarely seen more than their own, which, even then, they probably don't know all that well. [2]
Can the heterosexual male readers of El Reg talk at length and with expertise about other men's penes? I didn't think so.
Men (or lesbians) are real experts on women's genitalia and what they look like.
[1] Unless, of course, she is a gynaecologist or in a similar line of work.
[2] Quick test if you think I'm joking: if shown a picture of your vulva along with pictures of other vulvae, would you know which one was yours?

Re: Expert on womens' genitalia
I suspect Ms. Breswell was being modest.
Anyone viewing porn will have seen hundreds of examples of both forms of undercarriage so, yes, male readers of the register probably can talk about the length and expertise of other men's penises if they could drag their concentration away from the screen.
As for recognizing your own bits, I wouldn't even know my own hands unless the picture showed the chainsaw scar on my right palm.

it doesn't look like a camel toe :(
never mind, it would still be fun if it were retractable / closable, given the dreary, wet climate in Qatar. And with light beams of appropriate colours... truly spectacular shots of the opening (chuckle) ceremony, immortalized in google earth. Well, ok, not in the UK, such mind (?) stimulating images would have to be censored, naturally!

gynaecologistically?
Whoa, had me word-blinded for a minute! Like someone had shone one of those new tactical LED dictionaries right in my eyes just before thumping me in the face with it.
But I fought back, managed to keep my balance, blinked a few times and realised that you really meant gynaecologically, a word that I (and google) believe really exists, even though my spell[ing] checker denies it.
