    Sarmiento's facial structure should give the 100% heterosexual stadium a stern test.

    That and 'Prekado' for Preciado have annoyed me a lot. English people have a ridiculous tin ear for these things.

    If this finishes 2-0 Ecuador may live to regret not setting a higher goal difference target for Senegal/Holland. Been very South American 'see it out lads' in the second half.

    I assumed what looked like vast swathes of empty seats were just all the folk in 'traditional garb' but actually, looking closer, there are a lot of empty seats [although mostly red not white].

    The journos there are saying that half the crowd just didn't come back for the second half.

    I seem to remember The Saint being banned for one, presumably Euro 2008, but I think 'Cryola' (aka 'Cry Failola') just did it because he was a fanny.

    I'd totally forgotten about Fry. Did his game ever amount to anything? I remember he gave me it for free but I never got round to playing it.

    I watched the second half of that. Might as well not have played it considering the interest the two teams showed.

    This thing is swirling around the culture war plughole already. Tomorrow is going to be a nightmare. Either Kane wears the armband and the Arabs all start fizzing with rage (they're on the edge as it is - they really needed a better result earlier), or he doesn't wear the armband and has pussied out and let everybody down. Either option has a terrible outcome.

    Then I heard Rob Page outright say that Wales will be wearing the armband, so that'll start it all over again.

    There's been too much trying to have it both ways. I will never visit a country with Sharia law, even if they offer me £100,000, and that isn't even a slightly hard decision. Maybe it's harder if you're not a deviant, I don't know. That Brits flock to the UAE mystifies me. Alex Scott (who, in fairness, cops it on twitter at all times, because men despise having women involved in men's football) saying that boycott was the 'easy option' is complete bollocks, unfortunately. Boycotting was clearly the hard option, because no significant football or media figure (that I know of) has done it.

    UEFA, or the worthwhile UEFA nations, should have mass-boycotted the tournament about ten years ago, and then it just wouldn't have taken place.

    Habibi, the Arabs couldn't care less about the score tonight. There's only one demographic that are getting themselves worked up over the nonsense surrounding this and it ain't the ones with the clean bumholes.

    Have I just read right that England's game is in a 12000 seater stadium?

    I know their team is League 2 level, but are most of the facilities as well?

    Ah, fair enough. Think I misread where they had been training and assumed they were training in the stadium the day before the match.

    Unfortunately, if my sources are correct, Azmoun is not being risked, Ghoddos and our main DM Ezatolahi is benched and it looks like a defensive yet slightly untested XI. But the king likes these surprise selections and has rarely made any errors.

    If the revolution happens mid-tournament do they change the flag and anthem? Quiz question in the making right there.

    It needed one big nation to leave and the whole thing would have folded like a house of cards, which, to be fair to Scott wouldn’t have been that hard.

    What happened instead was a shit tonne of virtue signalling and fuck all else. The most meaningful thing anyone has done in opposition to this utter disgrace is shred ten grand. A truly sad state of affairs all round.

    I still find it astonishing that we are here in the first place. A reminder that 2 members of FIFA's ExCo were banned PRIOR to the vote for corruption. It was basically known (proven??) by around 2014 that it was fixed, yet FIFA decided to plough ahead and just kinda ignore that slightly pertinent fact.

    That back 4 is frightening. At least, at least he isn't going 5 at the back and 2 holding midfielders.

    It's the same as the racism problem. There are easy ways to fix it just no one has the balls to. In European competition if your fans are racist once you get a stadium ban for 1 game, 2nd time no fucking around you are kicked out of the competition. Same in the league once you get a stadium ban, second time you get a full season of no fans. The clubs would soon be able to fix the problems then like you say Europe and North America could have sorted this by just boycotting years ago but decided not to.

    FIFA says no to THE ARMBAND.

    Potential booking for all wearers.



    Kane should wear two and then walk off in protest.

    Is this where the yanks have been shrewd and incorporated it into their badge? Rainbow [away] kits obviously would have been the way forward, thinking about it.

    You wouldn't have been allowed 'political symbols' (that someone doesn't agree with, natch - the name of every country is a political symbol) on an away kit.
