FAO Qatar boycotters

[Yearbyred]

Like a few others, I’ve watched the England games and nothing else. Been working from home most of the tournament and haven’t even had the games on in the background.

Not because of a boycott but my general lack of interest in football these days.

In total I have watched the last 20 mins of the Wales Iran match and about half an hour of the Brazil Korea exhibition match. I must admit I'm starting to get a bit more invested. I was curious about the Morocco match yesterday.

Speaking off: is that the first time Two countries have meet in the world cup where one of them has some of the other countries land and the occupied country has won?

Northern Ireland beat us in a World Cup qualifier once.

AH true. Unusual for the occupied country to win! I know we drew with Ireland once but don't think they've beaten us.

Argentina also beaten us twice.

Ireland beat us at Euro 88. Though tbf we weren't occupying them at the time.

That's debatable

That's debatable

Of course, but so are all of these things.
