Fair enough, human rights etc are important things, but I'm fed up with a football tournament being used as a vehicle for people to peddle their political beliefs and to extol their virtue. The time to complain about those things was 10 years ago.

It would be quite funny if all the players had made clandestine agreements to make every game a 0-0 draw and make it the worst World Cup ever though.

Its probably going to be the worst wc ever to be honest without the players doing that. It'd be amusing though if some players and teams got disciplined for cheating as you describe in a tournament that was won by a country that bribed and cheated to get it in the first place.

No world cup is complete without a few crowd shots of bikini clad beauties. I wonder if there'll be any in Qatar, and will the tv directors have the nerve to pick them out and put them on screen?

I've always been England first followed by Wales because I am 25% Welsh.

My grandad was from Wrexham.
