WORLD CUP CRACKERS
It’s bonkers in Qatar
SO ENGLAND’S big stand against Qatar’s gay laws collapsed quicker than the home team’s defence.
They didn’t wear the One Love armbands they had made such a fuss about, after they were threatened with bookings.
Rosa Parks they are not. Harry Kane apparently took a subtle dig at the hosts, though, by wearing a £525k rainbow Rolex.
Because nothing says I’m a man of the people more than wearing a £525k watch. If they really want to make a statement, next time they score they should snog each other.
Otherwise they should just shut up and play football.
Before it all kicked-off, bonkers FIFA president Gianni Infantino had a go at critics of the competition. He said: “Today I feel Qatari, today I feel Arab, today I feel African, today I feel gay, today I feel disabled, today I feel like a migrant worker,”
He might be full of s**t but he’s got some balls saying he feels gay in Qatar. Even Gary Lineker stopped sermonising to talk about football.
There have been plenty of boring goal-less draws but there has been excitement. England hitting six, Germany losing, Argentina losing, Roy Keane nearly coming to blows with Graeme Souness. It’s been cracking so far. As we head into week two there are plenty of opportunities to make some cash.
I reckon Morocco and Canada can turn potential into points.
MOROCCO to beat Belgium: 14-5. CANADA to beat Croatia: 12-5 – both Betway
