Toinho 2,210 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 13 hours ago, Stan said: The team may not have, but Mane is quite clearly a quality player and will be missed . Senegal did enough to qualify from their continent, so I think it's a bit harsh to call them a 'filler' team. Italy themselves could be classed as filler considering their shit-show 2010 and 2014, and then not even qualifying for this tournament. Bad example there. I would've had Senegal making it out of their group potentially...now not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah same. In fact, I think they still will, but perhaps just not as comfortably. Maybe I'm ignoring Ecuador too much, but I can't see Qatar doing anything special.

DNA 107 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Surprised there was no room for Botman in the Holland squad, granted they’ve got Ake, Van Dijk & De Ligt but nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,324 Posted November 12, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted November 12, 2022 Qatar are now employing fake fans for fan marches, apparently. It's kinda hilarious to see the videos of "Argentinian", "German", "English", "Brazilian", etc. fans with drums and vuvuzelas, 99% of them men of Middle East or South Asian origins Cringefest.

Saw a video of "Portuguese fans" arriving to Qatar but none of them looked Portuguese. I was wondering whether they were just middle eastern Ronaldo fans caught on camera or if they were on a pay roll. Are the organization really behind this? Hard to imagine someone thought this was a good idea. Some locals are bound to adopt teams but there is no way these are organic gatherings.

Dr. Gonzo 8,174 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Idk if Qataris hate us the same way Saudis and UAE Arabs do, but I like the idea of Qatar forcing a bunch of Arabs who hate Iran to pretend to be Iran fans. But chances are they just forced migrant workers to do it instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
