Brilliant header they said. We'll have to take Ronaldos word for they said. I'd sooner believe that **** Putin than Ronaldo.

The stadium announcer said Fernandes goal. FIFA and the media say Ronaldo goal. Your eyes deceive you.

Just "Dirty Arab Money" then? Not "State Owned" and not "Oil"? That's alright then.

Classic Messi. It seems unique the way he shoots immediately, hard, low, with the ball rolling on the ground right into the corner.

But it was suggested that sports washing might not be all its cracked up to be and can back fire. So far Qatar is receiving bad publicity only. Could there be postive changes in Qatar as a consequence of this bad publicity. Regime washing?

Clive "smuggled the ball away, ran into traffic, established a base camp, ball under his spell" Tyldesley.....5 times a match.

Sounds like there are too many stadiums and they are too big. Fewer smaller stadiums with a capacity of 25,000 each would probably have sufficed. It's such a waste of energy and resources. It's a shame.

It's just not cricket.

The VAR and the computer can decipher that by the letter of the law it was offside. Without this technology it would never be deemed offside in real time by the naked eye. The defending side never played offside. It was pure luck that Qatar did not concede a goal. Completely against the...

Sports Washing apparently.

It's difficult to keep up with all this moral pontificating. I had to look up what LGBTQIA means. I really don't know where I fit or what to think anymore. I'm sure that somebody will be offended. And I just wanted to watch a football match. :-( Edit. Just realised its LGBTQIA+ Maybe I'm a +?

This "sports washing" doesn't seem to be working. I've just turned on the BBC coverage and heard nothing but criticism of the Qatar regime. Indeed, the media coverage over the last couple of days had been mostly negative. "Sports washing" achieves the opposite of what it allegedly purports to...

Sorry Monday lunchtime. Much more sensible.

England's first match is against Iran tomorrow morning. Iran, a theocracy where the religious police execute women for not wearing a scarf properly. Iran that supplies drones to Russia to destroy European cities Iran, that is colluding with Russia to develop it's own nuclear weapons. The match...

Blimey Stu that looks a bit runny to say the least. What did you have for breakfast that morning?

Like Begbie's dad in Trainspotting when they meet one night in the derelict Leith Railway Station. The scene is not in the film. It's in the book only, hence its title.

Could be a deliberate mistake to test NATO or fracture the West. Plausibly explained as a mistake but was intentional.

Russia of course saying that claims by Poland that a missile has hit are a provocation aimed at escalating the situation.

My thoughts too. I think 10-15 years ago. They often suffered injuries. I seem to recall Cesc Fabregas scoring a goal with a broken leg around that time. They were unlucky at times.

Agreed. But one fundamental error in your analysis...... You did the maths, not the math.
