''FIFA is one of the most corrupt organisations on the Planet'' Liam Brady

I wasn't referring to homosexuality in British football.

My point was that homosexuality in Qatar is illegal, and whether we like it or not, we have no right to impose our western values and beliefs on a sovereign middle eastern country.

I've just heard on the telly that the England team will take the knee before their game against Iran tomorrow. Yet another pathetic and pointless display of virtue signalling.

How brave Harry was leading his team to take the knee in a pointless gesture. After feeble giving in and taking his silly armband off, as if anybody cares.

All this condemnation of the Qatari regime seems to becoming from people who are there and being paid handsomely to be so. The haven’t the intelligence to realise, how pathetic they are. If they held these strong views, they wouldn’t have jumped on the plane to fill their pockets with cash, but refused to go.

The lack of drinking water thing is reported on the BBC Sports app - from my own experience out there I would suggest that this is extremely unusual & has probably arisen because its at the very start of the tournament & people have started arriving where certain basics are still being arranged -

The report reads that you have to have a wristband (which means that you have checked in or registered) to be able to have access to certain items & they are not going to be available until after 18.30 hours -

These fan villages are being newly constructed so there will have been no opportunity for them to have been used before & any hiccups ironed out - they are in effect learning on the job -

I would imagine that "paid for" bottled drinking water will arrive fairly quickly once it becomes common knowledge that it hasn't yet been made available - whether that develops into free cold drinking water fountains available to everyone in the fan village is another matter & probably will rely on how much media attention it receives -
