The Mailbox reacts to Saudi Arabia’s stunning win over Argentina, with few tears shed for Lionel Messi. Also: all this added time; Alex Scott; and armbands...
I’ve had my reservations about this World Cup – even thought about boycotting it at one point and refraining from watching any of the games – but would you look at that. Saudi Arabia giving a little masterclass in taking your chances and then digging the f*ck in This is one of the great upsets. What the F*CK. The tournament is shrouded in controversy and so it should be, but my God, there is nothing like International tournament football.
After winning we are as usual downplaying the opposition, so worth remembering Iran at 20th in the world are about on par with Senegal and far above Ecuador and the Saudis . Imagine a whole team being yellow carded for wearing an armband, it would look good and maybe give people hope. The comments under the tweet were all very similar. Man after man replied, saying how spineless these passengers were. If THEY were there they would have stood up against the harassers and come to the rescue of this young woman. Interesting isn’t it? 100% of the men on that train stayed silent. 100% of men who commented said they would have acted differently. We quite often think we would act in a certain way. When we’re faced with reality, we do something different.
The world cup is undoubtedly the pinnacle of a players career. They had nothing to do with Qatar being chosen, their job is just to help get their team there and to progress as far as possible. But the reality is, I wouldn’t be surprised if these 10+ minutes are a better reflection of actual time lost during the course of a half than the very predictable 1 minute in the first and 3-5 minutes in a second half. In fact I’ve just read FIFA’s head referee saying something like that.
