I really wish Gary Neville would just shut up these days. It's just annoying listening to him preach about stuff all the time when he's one of the biggest hypocrites in the media.
Let’s hope we at least get some cracking football because the politics here like everywhere atm is a proper shower of shite.
"It is unclear how the punishment of #FIFA will look like. It could be a fine, or a yellow card for violation of the dress code."
They really ought to have decided by now surely? ....The 'show' has already started, FFS!.
The players declared their intentions weeks, if not months, ago.
Anyone remember how many yellows before you miss a game at a WC?
2 so would miss the last group game.
What’s this about a new ban on kosher food?
No reputable source has said that , so sounds like propaganda.
Yea if you look at the foot and the money that changed hands, its offside.
Credible source?
I'll let someone else decide:
World Cup: Qatar won't allow cooked Kosher food, public Jewish prayer
Jewish organizations claim that Qatar is breaking its promise on allowing any cooked Kosher food to be sold at FIFA World Cup.

re: Food:
"At the moment, Kosher in Qatar will sell challah for Shabbat, bagel sandwiches with spreads such as hummus, vegetables and smoked salmon.
Yet when asked if there will be hot food or meat, Chitrik said this will only be available if there will be a large group of Jews at the games.
He declined to comment on the claim that Qatar banned warm kosher food and public Jewish prayer."
re: Prayer:
Sources in Jewish organizations told The Jerusalem Post that Qatar broke another promise to allow Jewish prayer services in Doha during the games, claiming it couldn’t secure this type of activity and then banned it completely.
“We were promised to be allowed to create prayer spaces in order for religious Jews who came to see the games to have a place of worship,” a representative of a Jewish organization said. “We were recently told that they banned places of worship for Jews because they cannot secure them.”
I enjoyed seeing him lampooned by Ian hislop on hignfy....what the hell was he doing on there anyway...he's a complete twat!
it wasn’t offside
Thanks for this info. It hadn‘t been common knowledge.
England to take a knee before World Cup opener against Iran as James Maddison ruled out with injury
England to play Iran, USA and Wales in World Cup Group B in Qatar; Gareth Southgates side to take a knee ahead of Mondays opener against Iran; James Maddison and Kyle Walker to miss Iran game; England will aim to build on semi-final run at Russia 2018 and runners-up finish at Euro 2020www.skysports.com
Whilst I agree with the sentiment of it and the armband, at some point our players need to focus on the football. Let’s just hope we aren’t getting too sidetracked with the politics of things because that will quickly be blamed if we don’t beat Iran tomorrow
It was just a shame Ecuador didn’t give them a proper spanking
Good point........ A (ahem) certain contingent will be feeeewmin'!
If felt like they could have very easily but were holding back.
Could be because of the heat or maybe, if I’m a conspiracy theorist, there was pressure to avoid humiliating the hosts. Hope that’s not the case because the first tiebreaker criteria is goal differential.
