Mind you, Spain won the Euros and the World Cup with a 0-10-0 formation, so why not? I know Iniesta and Xavi played like ten men but they did have David Villa up top...

Cade Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 There will be plenty of fluff tv slots about how great Qatar is and how friendly the people are.

Taffin Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 It's such a weird build up, but I'm now really looking forward to it getting underway at the weekend. I hope it's not too derailed by politics once it gets going. I'd have thought a sport where there's no openly gay players wouldn't be quite so hostile to Qatar. Maybe it's not just foreign types who need to leave the dark ages behind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't the slightest interest in going to any of those countries. However, that's their laws and beliefs and are entitled to them i suppose, but don't expect that many visitors really. Still flabbergasted it taking place there ( for a variety of reasons) at all.
