    I don't find any of the actualities amusing but sometimes gallows humour is all we have left.
    It's an oft used base for memes with di Caprio playing a particularly nasty character. It's testament to his skills that it gets used so much.
    I find it apt.

    There will still be alcohol in the fan zones and budwisser non alcoholic in the stadiums. Possibly not a bad idea anyway! Less trouble?

    Can't wait for a few hooligans being punished with 20 lashes<wah><devil>

    That is a fair point - think it was more the timing tbh .

    Maybe they just forgot and someone had to remind them .

    I really hope that Ecuador take them to the cleaners now.

    Eventually they showed that there seemed to be an offside but hardly ideal showing it 10 minutes later .

    And to think that the var team not only has twice as many officials as normal, but is also using something called semi-autonomous offside technology. They should take it back to Poundland and ask for their money back.

    Well that was exciting! Went to sleep 5 minutes into the second half and woke up with 2 minutes left. :emoticon-0113-sleep

    2nd half was like a team who knew they had the game won and played it easy with a game in a few days time .

    Yet somehow missed nothing.

    The Dog and Duck, or the Qatari equivalent, fielded a team in front of:
    • an air-conditioned stadium with the roof open
    • many empty seats
    • many more fans leaving during the second half
    • few women fans
    • paid-for fans (who had their ‘allowance’ cut the day before travel), and
    • the ghosts of thousands of immigrants who built this farce, paying with their lives

    A proud FIFA chairman looked on.

    His attempt at Arabic was appalling. I doubt if anyone understood a word of what he was saying. It was like listening to a Geordie reading Vietnamese but with no knowledge of the language.
