    Ronaldo claims a goal he didn't touch then Portugal get a ridiculous penalty for handball after VAR intervenes.

    How was that given as a penalty? He didn't have a clue where the ball was, and he was falling backwards to the ground. The game's gone. I don't think Ronaldo touched it either, but his narcissism won't allow him to give the goal to Fernandes.

    I read a suggestion that it was the gravitational pull of Ronaldo's ego that took the ball into the net.

    Good on him, it's why the camera's never followed him but stayed firmly fixed on the ref !

    Nice that with all the restrictions this protest (the war in Ukraine, Women's rights in Iran and LGBTQ rights) got out there. Hopefully not serious reprecussions for the young man.

    Protester with rainbow flag interrupts men's World Cup game in Qatar

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/protester-rainbow-flag-world-cup-1.6667028?__vfz=medium=sharebar
    Fans also complained they weren't allowed to bring items with rainbow colours, a symbol of LGBTQ rights, into the stadiums of the conservative Islamic emirate.

    Qatar's restrictive sex laws and treatment of LGBTQ people were flashpoints in the run-up to the first World Cup to be held in the Middle East. Qatar has said everyone was welcome, including LGBTQ fans, but that visitors should respect the nation's culture.

    The incident occurred during the second half of the game at Lusail Stadium.

    There were also problems in Antwerp, Liege, Rotterdam, The Hague and Amsterdam as a result of this match - there are 200,000 Moroccans living in Brussels and their relationship to the locals is far from good even though many of them were born in Belgium or the Netherlands.

    Big chance for Rashford who just delayed the shot allowing the Welsh keeper to block.......

    Looks like Wales are playing for a 0-0.
