I listened to this today. Drama about a Sri Lankan Spurs fan who goes to Qatar to help build stadia for the World Cup. It doesnโt really encourage much enthusiasm for the upcoming sportwashing event but probably does reflect the experiences of the many thousands recruited to build the infrastructure.
Worth a listen.

A lesson here for FIFA 
Only for the proles though.
โThose in corporate areas of stadiums at the tournament will still be able to purchase alcohol.โ

That goalie wouldnโt get a game on the rec on a Sunday morning.
Ref is a bit trigger happy
Game of the day for me has been Lewes Womensโ gritty victory away at Sunderland. This Qatar Ecuador game lacks spice by comparison.

That was an awful game. I canโt remember a worse team at the World Cup than Qatar. That could have been 6 or 7 if Ecuador could have been arsed. Not tonking Qatar senseless might cost them a place in the second round if the group turns out to be tight.

Just booked a train journey for tomorrow lunchtime. Then checked the football times, and then remembered that Avanti West Coast has great mobile/wi-fi so I can probably stream the footie to keep me entertained. Sweet.

This is the aggregated team the BBC picker thing came up with and I think thatโs my team too, except probably Pope in goal.
I canโt see Southgate playing a back 4 after the group stages, though.
I hope he sets up like this, whoever is picked.
