Qatar fans seem to have taken the great moral stance of boycotting the world cup.
Need a Neville and Scholes type celebration for the laugh
Mine too. I will only think heâs a cunt if he does it.
Why stop there? Pull his shorts down, bend him over the ad hoardings and get stuck in 
What Iâm reading is that there was no atmosphere, half the stadium left, they played shit football and the other nationsâ fans want beer.
So all in all a brilliant start to the best World Cup ever.
sorted!
Yeah, but that was against us so should automatically be off side! 
Ref had a good game to be fair.
Probably because he wasnât English.
Well, the Qatar team performed about as well as the refereeing team from Qatar in the 2019 CWC Final. 
âUnqualifiedâ given they are the only host nation to not have qualified (IIRC) is a funny pun.
I heard that BBC did not show the Opening ceremony on the terrestrial tv (BBC1). Why is this? The World Cup opening ceremony in 2018, Russia was shown on tv, why was it omitted tonight. If this was deliberate, it was double standards and disrespectful, I pay my TV licence. I should be able to watch it.
It 100% wasnât, I tuned in from the beginning and all they did was talk about their laws and rights as if they have the prerogative to do so.
Shameful. Brits are so full of shit.
I was waiting all afternoon for it, I thought, maybe I missed it and it was on yesterday.
Any of the German TAN contingent see the ceremony on their tv channels?
You will surely find the full replay on FIFAâs YT channel or somewhere there.
I know, but in our house, we were all waiting for it âliveâ and it was Gary Lineker going on and on about the politics and morals of FIFA, which we have heard all week.
Yes itâs been shown here Maria. So strange tbh, no women at all on stage.
Didnât watch the thing for more than a minute concentrated, but noticed female dancers here and there, plenty of them.
