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 agoddamnallah-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 tailsAnd we've got dragons ... they've got, red tinged fireworks?

Not a soccer aficionado, and I started watching from about 55 mins. But from my uneducated eye Wales had the better of the game.

Belgium forced to change World Cup away kit last minute by FIFA for the most ridiculous reason
FIFA have stopped captains of World Cup teams wearing the 'One Love' armband and now the Belgium team aren't even allowed the word 'Love' on their kit
more than just the armband banned, a whole kit that was announced two months ago, surely leaving it so late to take action is just making more press

@Kiwiwomble Yep, the more restrictions are impsoed and the more inadequate FIFA and the Quatari organisers are, the more attention all these issues will get from the media. Exactly the opposite of what they want. I wonder what the next thing is. Banning all the protesters (or their shirts and signage) against the Iranian regime? Organising the tournament in Quatar was always going to lead to political issues. FIFA are so stupid!
