    [Football] Who’s not watching the World Cup?

    Good article about the shocking plight of women wanting to play football in Qatar. https://metro.co.uk/2022/09/28/floodlights-are-on-but-womens-game-in-qatar-is-kept-in-the-dark-17462695/ In order to promote the women's game in Qatar they err have banned men from watching. :shrug:

    The bribery allegations (which haven't been denied by FIFA or Qatar) are extremely disturbing. I really hope that our three haven't taken a bung. I thought the 13/10 Ecuador was really generous. Not so now. You can't even bet with any confidence the Qataris are so corrupt.

    You would like to think wouldn't you? So far as I'm aware only the Aussies and the Danish have "spoken out". But hey, our Harry is going to wear a special captain's armband so that will stuff it to the Qataris won't it. Never been a fan of Kanes I'll admit. As we know he is a dirty, diving...

    Good to see German players now condemning the homophobic Qataris' latest proclamation about gay rights https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63566517 Still, our Harry Kane will be making his stand by wearing a "special captain's armband" :ffsparr:
