In their squad they have four defenders who play in the Iranian leagues and two who play for a Qatari club side. I’m not saying he would be their best defender but I’m pretty sure he is worth a place on merit.
He thinks if we had beaten Sunderland he might have been in the squad.
Fans will always be a bit biased to their own, but stuff like Vokes and Tafa being involved in the world cup, from the 3rd tier, without either being in particularly great form is getting a bit silly.
Once the novelty of the opening games have passed it'll probably nosedive, there won't be that many local fans that want to watch multiple games every day.
One thing that I have noticed is how card happy the refs seem to be, how poor the linos are at helping the ref & how (unsurprisingly) one eyed the VAR guys are. Those who play in the Premier League will feel right at home. Seriously, some teams will be decimated by the 3rd groups game if refs keep flashing cards the way they have so far.
The quality on show so far at this World Cup has been very Championship/League 1. This is the World Stage - England are the only team so far that have displayed anything remotely close to World Class.

Packed house for the Senegal - Netherlands game...

Just noticed this too. Wonder if there has been more tickets entry issues like the England fans had?
Or maybe a lack of interest in buying football tickets by the host nation that are clearly mad about their football.i
Well put.

Is George Galloway playing left back for Holland?
I’m stumped. Do you really think the Qatari league is a higher standard than League One?

Said on commentary that the official attendence had been announced...1700 above capacity of stadium. It must be just like Wycombe v Slough in 93.
Senegal v Netherland proving to be one of the worst World Cup games I can remember seeing
It's been like watching two Wycombes play each other
It's the worst game since...the second half of Qatar v Ecuador.
Apparently after holding people up for hours as the app crashed they let everyone in without checking tickets so might be accurate.
Hearing they are currently using all their might and resources to confiscate rainbow hats from Welsh fans.

Wales are the most Wycombe team in this tournament. They’ve had about 7 touches of the ball and done sod all with it.
Does the 7pm kick off (our time) mean that it's a 10pm kick off in Qatar?
That kind of rules out kids for the 7pm kick off doesn't it?
The Churchill famine myth is complete nonsense. A good reason for us not to worry too much about the distant past and focus on the present.

The Qataris are using a goat simulator to give the illusion of kids at these games
Depends on the parents probably!
Hmmm, Very slow, not quite sure of the formation and talking about what players did in the past...
Doing better with Moore but still giving US too much space.
Wales are dreadful, USA look average at best & the ref is doing his damnedest to bugger any real flow to the game.
US team seem perfectly designed to hit them on the break if they can't make this count
Wales are Wycombe in reverse - terrified of the ball in the first half, not too bad in the second.

Bale isn’t the player he was and no amount of golf can get you match fit. That said a few years ago he was fecking amazing .
Soft penalty conceded by US but fair play to Bale, kept his cool & buried it nicely.
I still think the US are going to win it
Difference being a half time substitute to change the game
Messi time. They built all those stadiums so that he'd turn up so he'd better score some skill goals.
