sne Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) Benzema, Kanté, Pogba, Nkunku and Kimpembe all out injured for the WC. Varane and Kounde been mostly injured for the season but in the squad. Guess we could add Kamara who might have been in the squad if not injured for so long. All sides have injuries but France seem particularly badly hit. Edited November 20, 2022 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me hopes they get absolutely **** battered in every game, 5-0 and lucky to get that but I don't think that they will Imagine if they gave England a really tight game in the second round, people would be fuming but at the same time imagine if we got them second round and beat them 8-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Considering the calls South Korea got for their home WC it would be surprising if Qatar wasn't awarded the same favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 What exactly is David Beckham going to do with the reported £10m he’s being paid? It’ll just go in the bank with the rest. He had absolutely no reason to do it other than greed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 One positive about this spectacle is that Qatar will likely have zero tolerance for idiots running onto the pitch during games. If ever there was a guy who deserved a public lashing on the town square it's Jimmy Jump. Just hope any human rights or LBTQ rights protesters who are thinking of doing anything don't get in serious trouble for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Is an interview in one of the big national papers with the fat disgusting slob Karl-Erik Nilsson who is president of the Swedish FA. He's standing outside a luxury resort in Doha with Foie gras dripping down his chin saying he was surprised that Infantino didn't show more humility in his speech but that he might still give him his vote in the upcoming election. Unlike for example Germany and Norway. People like him is why football as we knew it is dying. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekka Posted November 20, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2022 Dear God, imagine travelling out there to stay in this. World Cup 2022: Inside Qatar's £175-a-night fan village. "It's like being in a greenhouse, so we weren't able to sleep past 9am even though we were exhausted because of the flight." he added. The tents, made of thick plastic, each contain two single beds and a nightstand with a lamp. A thin layer of carpet is lumpy in places as it rests on sand and gravel. A single electric fan completes the room layout. BBC News 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
