Qatar just too small to be holding an event like this. Like a week ago I read that Argentinian FA is the only one which sold out all of their allocated group stage tickets.

Or some pro-government ones booing the team for not singing it. The Shia-Sunni thing is quite bad so there's that as well. But yeah, even other than that, I've seen people not being friendly to people from other countries. Like Palestinians in Jordan or Lebanon. Egypt doesn't exactly help Gaza circumvent the Israeli blockade either. IRGC constantly bombs Kurdish areas in Iraq and there's Morocco and Algeria having border clashes every once in a while so there's lots of bad blood across the Middle East and North Africa. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunmaN1905 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 In all of my many years watching football I'll never understand one thing. Why refs do this? The stoppage time already expired, the ball is out of play in a non-threatening position (most of the time it's a goal kick) and they wait for the ball to be brought back into play, only to whistle right after. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_jagster Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I was expecting something more from the Dutch, their chances haven't really come from sustained pressure. Senegal aren't too bad in open play but they do that disappointing thing of any player shooting straight at a defender outside the box when they run out of ideas.
