Mr Oliver is with you on Qatari behavior, but yeah, he’s gonna watch the World Cup as well.
Sent from my iPhone Two problems: 1. You don't want to waste a substitute (you only have five subs in three opportunities). 2. Yellow cards accumulate both within and outside matches: when you get a second yellow card, you're required to sit out the following match. Fuck FIFA.
I get it (though my understanding is that an in game penalty is unusual if not unheard of for a uniform violation like this). Still, would like to see what kind of WC this would become if FIFA would up disqualifying the Captains of 8 or so European teams.
As a Soccer neophyte: Would it technically have been possible to make like the worst player the Captain and let them take the Yellow Card?
This is helpful. I have watched the first two matches, and currently in the 12th minute of the Wales-US match, and have been waiting for some mention of the human rights issues. So far, nothing. They do show shots of Beckham, but without the obvious context.
Also, I see the Euros decided not to go with the Rainbow armbands?
I was not attending to the fact this was Fox (probably would have guessed ESPN), though yes, now that I think of it I do see the Fox bug in upper left. When asked at a press conference whether they would report on the horrible track record regarding human rights of Qatar as part of their FIFA World Cup coverage, Fox Sports said something like "the fans want to see the World Cup" (NBCU's Telemundo, which has the Spanish language rights to the tournament, says they and NBC News in English will report on the home of the event). Considering that government-owned Qatar Airways is a major sponsor of the coverage and has made it possible for Fox to have live announcers at every venue for every match (while, as in the past, TEL's Andres Cantor will make his trademark "GOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL!" call from studios at Universal City), it is no surprise that they made the remark--and there was nothing on foxsports.com about the decision to not sell alcohol at venues (while that was on TEL's website):
