We're all being very cynical, but I'm sure that hosting the World Cup will open up Qatar, and help bring them closer into line with the values of the rest of the world, just like what happened with Russia, who pulled back from all the post-cold war aggression, backwards attitudes and laws, and outdated expansionist policies.

 

It's not as if Qatar have already disrupted the organisation of the competition by going back on a promise regarding the sale of alcohol, causing problems with one of the tournament's biggest sponsors. It's not as if they've already started harassing journalists or threatend to destroy a camera belonging to Danish TV. It's not as if they've started gearing up towards arresting people for wearing shorts or women for wearing any of the clothes they might have taken to an extremely hot country...

Oh.

 

The women's World Cup in Qatar is going to be interesting. They do realise the men's team run around in short sleeves and shorts ?

 

How old is that though? ^^

I don't know, actually. Where I came across it, it was being presented as something that was related to the World Cup, but it might be an old image that people have started circulating again. I may have been duped!

My earliest knowledge of the Qatar national team is that they were the only team in the original FIFA Soccer in the Mega Drive that you could score against directly for kick off. This team beat Japan to win the Asian Cup  so I expect that not to happen today.

Qatar paying off the VAR already, I see… absolutely no offside anywhere near that goal, completely ridiculous. Hopefully the graphic saying ‘offside’ as the check was just wrong. The only thing I can think of was a foul on the goalkeeper, but it looked like a perfectly legitimate goal.

FYI the BBC iPlayer 4K UHD stream is about 2 and a half minutes behind the BBC HD broadcast. Just in case you are sensitive during the England games when they go crashing out goaless in the group stages score loads of goals and you hear it from somewhere else as the make they next round
