In an hour's time, an amusing friendly fixture kicks off:

Qatar v Russia

What sort of scoreline might be construed as "ideal" for this showpiece fixture I wonder? You couldn't possibly imagine it coming to fruition, not with these two squeaky clean footballing nations.



Wait, here come the teams to a TICKERTAPE reception:

 

[Marshy]

Its USA v Mexico too isnt it ?

Brilliant timing

 

[Simster]

Russia have scored already.

I see Russia cruising to a half time 2-0 lead on for Qatar to "fight back" for a very honourable all round 2-2 draw. Put your house on it.

Brazil v Argentina WC Qualifier will be a bit TASTY later on tonight

Qatar 1-1 Russia at HT

Three penalties awarded, Qatar missed one.

How many third rate Brazilians have Qatar got playing for them?

It's hard to say, I don't speak or read Arabic so the dodgy stream isn't helping. They are gash though, but then so is the Russian defence.

When it's a free kick just outside their box I hope the USA have a strong enough wall to deal with the situation.

No honestly! Just my free thinking spirit revolving around around the vacuum roughly where my brain should be and coming up Trumps.

Excellent, it'll probably go with the other one about Trump keeping an eye on the Mexican pole vault team at the Olympics

I see Mexico won 2-1 against their friends from the north, scoring an 89th minute winner - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37960899
