...and now the Qatari government are saying that they do not want any beer sold at stadiums.

Time to get acquainted with Bud Zero, apparently.

Budweiser has a HUGE warehouse full of beer. They said that they will give it to the winning team if they are allowed to have it!

Going to be very interesting now for this group.

Whoever qualifies in second place will depend on how many they can put past Iran.

Did I read that right? Saudi beat Argentina 2-1!!!!!

That 6-2 win for England was great to watch, but it is silly incidents like the one that gave Iran that final minute penalty that worry me. Obviously, it was irrelevant in this match as we already had six goals in the bag, but we cannot afford to give away stupid penalties like that against tougher opponents. All of the shirt pulling and groping that goes on in the penalty area gets ridiculous at times.

Yep! One of those rare surprises. No fluke either.

The shirt pull on Maguire was far worse in first half. I reckon the ref gave Iran the penalty out of sympathy.

Sadly yes, you read right. Somehow Argentina lost its direction for the second half. The joke here is that they stopped attacking because they were afraid of offsides 😂

Saudis overturned the scoreboard in just five minutes, and then their superiority was evident. I hope we do better on Saturday. Fingers crossed...

I thought it was poor sportsmanship for Wales to use 2 sheep on defense...  But no yellow card waved....

5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB  PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel. Crystal Light VR.

 

What's interesting is virgin took the England team down and Titan are bringing them back. 

Titan are applying for Slots, PPR, parking, customs and landing permits for DWC/OMDW on all the different days that England could potentially get kicked out (and will then crew rest in DWC) and the next day position DWC-DOH and then bring the team back DOH TO STN all in one go. 

All because the Qataris have made it extortionate to Park overnight in DOH. Hence why Titan will nightstop in DWC and postion to operate the following day instead. 

Madness, I dont blame the commercial team at Virgin for not taking the return charter flight, no matter how lucrative

You’ll still win the group Luis. This is Argentina we’re talking about.

I’m still convinced the final will be Brazil v. either Argentina or France.

I’m so convinced it seems I had to post twice!😃
