    If you're in NZ, this is a handy page on Sky's website with info about when and on which channel games are televised.
    Some games are live on Sky and/or Prime. Some delayed on Prime Plus, Pre-match, Post-match etc

    Most obvious bait and switch ever, they've re-banned beer in stadia, after earlier saying they'd allow it (when fans were booking trips)

    And sleeping in shipping containers?

    Funny. Hard to think how this tournament could be more of a joke.

    Saddest thing about this tournament for me is that World Rugby are 20-30 years behind FIFA and by 2050 will have joined them in the same corrupt, moral vacuum.

    Despite not being that interested here I am watching the opening match. Qatar look hopeless.

    How Qatari was the Qatar team? I see a Pedro Miguel from Portugal played but did they buy any Brazilians?

    @Bovidae I think the team's about 50/50. Half of them born there and the other half "naturalized" with hopes and dreams of representing the might of Qatar on the world stage, or maybe by the promises of large piles of cash.

    @canefan not sure the Qatari cellars are chilly enough for him.

    Qatar World Cup Games To Cut Off Human Sales After 75th Minute

    DOHA, QATAR—Unveiling several policies for the upcoming international soccer tournament, the nation of Qatar announced Sunday that its World Cup stadiums would cut off human sales after the 75th minute of each soccer match. “We want fans to enjoy themselves, but we also want to provide a safe...

    I accidentally just saw some of the opening ceremony... the Qatari President, or Prince, or Head Executioner, or some shit - giving the welcome speech.
    FFS... the interpreter was interpreting on the fly, and making a goddamn allah-damned hash of it. How difficult is it to prepare a pre-interpreted version for somebody to read confidently? Or at least provide a copy of the speech ahead of time, so at least SOME prep could be done.

    So we're up against the Seppos in the morning huh?

    What are our chances?

    Regardless, at least we'll win the anthem... (mixing a couple of translations together as follows...)

    My hen laid a haddock on top of a tree,
    Glad barks and centurions throw dogs in the sea,
    My guru asked Elvis and brandished Dan’s flan,
    Don’s muddy bog’s blocked up with sand.
    Whales, whales,
    Bloody great fishes are whales
    They live in the sea; we eat them for tea
    By sprink-a-ling salt on their tails

    And we've got dragons ... they've got, red tinged fireworks?

    Do they not have HIA protocols at the FIFA World Cup?

    Frankly ridiculous - huge headclash and neither player goes off.

    Martin Tyler doesn't sound impressed.
