Group C:

Argentina
Poland
Mexico
Saudi

Opening game of Group C on Tuesday is Mexico Vs Poland. could basically be seen as loser of that is going home.

also, lol @ Mexico's top scorer in qualifying getting 2 goals

[Hendo]

Always thought for the size of the country and general heritage of its population, Mexico should be far, far better at football than they are.

Alcohol sales now banned in Qatar

Absolutely shambolic

[fartdad]

It’s ok people can still drink Bud Zero

We’ve come a long way from banning Dutch fans from wearing pants with the wrong logo so not to upset Budweiser to complete abandoning all principles to cave to qatar

[Zammo]

Mate flying out now. Actual lol if the first he hears about the alco ban is when he lands

I would genuinely rather experience a dry world cup that drink that

[Blackheath Royal]

Feeling very flat about the WC tbh, although mention of Mexico reminds me I have this in the loft somewhere - will be excavating it out for a watch (Caine/Wakeman/Hugo Sanchez/Preben Elkjaer - magic...)

Apparently won’t apply to those who are in the coroporate boxes so getting a bit like Covid really where Covid couldn’t be transmitted if you were a VIP on a jolly somewhere.

Wonder if Budweiser will now sue FIFA for breach of contract?

Infantino just did a press conference and when asked about discrimination against the gay community in Qatar he said 'I know what it's like to be discriminated against, I was bullied for having red hair'

Wow

LOOOOOOOOL WHAT A oxf*rd TOOL

Gianni Infantino starts his press conference with some opening remarks: "Today I have very strong feelings. Today I feel Qatari. Today I feel Arab. Today I feel African. Today I feel Gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel a migrant worker.".....
Infantino adds: "I'm not Qatari, African, gay, disabled & I'm not really a migrant worker but I know what it means to be discriminated & bullied, as a foreign in a foreign country, as a child at school I was bullied because I had red hair and freckles. I was bullied for that."

Jeffrey Schlupp's agent on his client not being picked for the Ghana World Cup squad:

And this on the back of him getting another 4 years at the top of FIFA, after no candidate stepped up to challenge him.

Perhaps he is feeling untouchable like the previous FIFA president...
