2022 World Cup.

She won't get fired, why would a UK broadcaster fire her? FIFA may remove her accreditation but that will do her no harm, she can just go into a studio then. It's a free hit for her, not at all comparable to the players.

I'm surprised someone didn't walk out with a yellow card for her.

Be interesting to see what Bellinghams valued at after the tournament.

Does anyone have a better recruitment team than Borussia Dortmund? Quite remarkable success rate in buying players, developing and then selling for massive sums.

Get in. ?

The fact it’s going on and people want to just “concentrate” on the football imo shows that it will work as a sportswashing exercise

I’ll give it about 5 mins after the event has finished and it will all be forgotten - shame as it was the perfect stage

Some have stood up - Alex Scott for example , and hopefully others will continue to ensure that that we never see events going there of this scale until the region ( or any region ) drag themselves into modern society

And that should be the same for any society that doesn’t treat all the same



Yep spot on - she may get fired or sent home etc but she at least stood up for her beliefs.

Are you trying to win an award from the most ridiculous comments on the forum. Do you seriously think she did that against the wishes of her employers!? Do you seriously think a British Broadcasting company would fire her for sending out a message against discrimination. Do you have any idea how damaging that would be the the broadcasting company?

Was hilariously petty. I was hoping they'd come to blows.

What were they arguing about? I wish they would save these debates until most of us are home from work, for the evening games.

Well this just got interesting!

Incredible.

Is the coach of Saudi Arabia that doctor from Embarrassing Bodies, Christian Jessen?

Whether it was a penalty or not. So a bit of a rugby tackle albeit not as bad as the one on Maguire. Keane said no and Souness said yes...pretty much told Keane to shut up and listen!

Keane said it's not a penalty, Souness said in the football laws it is. Keane said he doesn't care about the law, his opinion is that it's not a penalty. Souness said opinions don't matter. Keane said well I'm paid to be here and give my opinion (about 5 times). Gloriously silly.

And what a goal that was for the Saudis, we've got a game on our hands out of nowhere.

Souness has probably been working with Simon Jordan too long. Telling Keane to shut up is not recommended.

There is football happening? Are you sure? No bickering about armbands anymore?

(it would be so funny if they held on)

 

[nickjdavis]

All I know is that the Saudis will be making themselves very unpopular on various "prediction leagues" and betting coupons.

Good to see the Saudi 11 go off. He's twice let Messi run off him into the box and I'm sure both times he knew exactly what was happening but didn't fancy the responsibility!

Working from home has its perks.

 

[fundy]

Could be half an hour added time here if its judged like the other games lol

 

[YandaB]

Maybe Iran's ranking oof 20 isn't so daft!

 

[ColchesterFC]

Are we allowed to celebrate if Saudi Arabia beat Argentina or would that be considered sportswashing?

It wouldn’t matter Messi has been one of the worst players on the pitch

 

[pokerjoke]

Mind boggling how a referee stop’s play for the softest of fouls and when a player nearly gets decapitated he waves play on.

Seems like the place to go if you’re a young talent.
