FIFA World Cup 2022

Infantino really thought he was doing something with that speech.

 

[Bobfoc]

I'd find it terribly dull if France were to win again anyway.

Yes. Made himself a prize cunt.

I would find it terribly profitable.

Morgan Freeman is terrible at lip-syncing.

[King Ellis]

Bloody hell, just turned on the BBC coverage and it's like an episode of Panorama.

[Baddar]

I'm glad things are being challenged - Neville has already done the same on BEIN Sports from the one short clip I've seen. But I hope come 4pm onwards it's all about the football.

[Bobfoc]

I thought Russia v Saudi Arabia was an underwhelming World Cup opening match, but Qatar v Ecuador is on another level.

[Chris2K]

Didn't take long.

Hopefully Dion Dublin thinking that overhead kick was a deliberate cross is not a sign of commentary to come.

And here's VAR to make things over-complicated.

[Bobfoc]

Good start.

[King Ellis]

Have Qatar got an outfield player in goal? Not sure what he was doing there.

Edit: Another billion in the FIFA coffers for disallowing that.

[Chris2K]

What the actual fuck is that decision?

[Bobfoc]

Rigged

[DavidMarrio]

BRIBED!

[Baddar]

What

[Twist]

So Qatar have VAR on payroll then.

[The Lusophone]

Utterly, utterly, utterly rigged. I hope Ecuador smash these pricks.

[gunnar hendershow]

I think that was the right enforcement of the rule? You never ever see that though... I can count on one hands the amount of times I've ever heard that referenced.

[Chris2K]

Murmurs going around that it was for a foul on the keeper, not offisde

 

It also wasn't a foul on the keeper.

 

Nope, just a bullshit offside decision.

[Adam]

He was offside, just. The goalkeeper was so far out of his goal that he played the forward offside.

People forget the offside rule is two players behind, not necessarily one and the goalkeeper.
