2022 World Cup - Qatar

France have the coolest names of this World Cup: Mbappé, Upamcano, Tchouaméni.

As soon as the footy starts the politics gets forgotten. If players can protest at the same time and make a point they will but their priority is to play in a tournament that only comes around every 4 years. Once they got threatened with yellow cards they caved and lost a bit of respect. Only the German team put up a sort of protest. Could have affected their performance v Japan which led to them getting knocked out.

Same goes for fans - the ones who like football will watch regardless. Then the casual fan will when the proper action gets going.

There can be another protest if Qatar get the Olympics in 2036. Let's then see if Olympic athletes feel the same or is getting Gold, Silver , bronze
They've bid for the 2036 Olympics have they? I wonder how much money they've allocated for bribes.
 
Poland are a very ordinary team. Only have two players of international quality and they are at opposite ends of the pitch.
 
Poland just starting to create one or two chances. Still think France will win but they won't want to go down 1-0 as Poland will be happy sitting on it.
 
Mbappé prefers to play with Giroud than Benzema.

Agree with the BBC pundits that this France team do have weaknesses. Not as good at controlling Poland without the ball compared to Netherlands.

Still hope they get through and also England.

Doha was universally panned when they had the World Atheletics Championship. Dunno how much impact that will have on any Olympics bid but it will have some.

Top scorer on 5 so far. Unstoppable.

Lebeouf got it spot on. He's also predicting Senegal will beat England 2-1. 😱
