    Sorry if I misrepresented you, it wasn't intentional.
    I picked up on a point then just ran with it without referring back.

    Your second paragraph is exactly what should have happened imho
    Pinnacle of career or not
    IF what you are fighting for is a just enough cause

    easy for me because I am at the bottom tier in life - it does get difficult but had they been serious about their beliefs things would have been different but that is just an op - and Tbf I can see your viewpoint on it

    You didn't misrepresent me. It was more a Zanjinho moment i.e. not reading back ;)

    Looking at some of the squads this world cup is going to be a real mix of very old and very young players.
    Very few squads with a core of players in that 'peak age range'

    England and France seem to have the best balance in squad ages.

    And by old, Brazil have Dani Alves 39, Portugal CRonaldo 37 & Pepe 39, Uruguay Suarez and Cavani 35
    and there is alot more.

    Also, must be the last chance for the lauded Belgium squad to win something.

    And so it begins

    Saint Harry is excited.

    Southgate called this the pinnacle of world football.

    Not one utterance about the location etc a complete and utter cop out after dodging questions at squad announcement.

    I dont want to hear one word out of these clowns after the event.

    Southgate isn't going to say anything is he? He'll get assassinated

    More like the pinnacle of world football shame and hypocrisy.
    If they comeback and take the knee they'll be taking the piss.

    It'll be interesting to see if anyone does - I can't imagine they will.

    Qatar have rejected claims they've paid fake fans to make it look busy. They obviously all just turned up in exactly the same 'never seen before' England shirts, hats, etc <laugh>

    Wouldn't be the first time. China bused the military in to fill out the 2008 Olympic crowds

    Thread title is misleading , those of us discussing and slagging off the 'Killing World Cup' obviously do have souls unless of course we shouldn't be posting anything derogatory about it here and should start a new thread.<whistle>

    The Qataris bussed in people in civvies for the 2019 World Athletic Championships which only had a reasonable crowd when the race included Ethiopian or Eritrean distance runners as loads of the workers from those countries would come in when they were competing . Only problem was they all ****ed off the moment the race ended .<laugh>

    Technically, the slagging off off of Qatar is 'off topic' here. This thread is for the world cup and the football player, not got the slagging off of Qatar so it is "soulless" <whistle>
