Day -981. WorldCup2018.
Reading about Putin, the manipulator, and Ukraine makes it easy to see
how Fifa couldn't say no to giving Russia the World Cup. More of that to
come. In the meantime, in preparation for this week's round of Asian
qualifiers, I came across this gem of non-political reporting on fifa.com.
Because, you know Fifa don't get involved in politics in any way,
right? What you would expect to be the main story behind Syria's match
against Japan is referred to as the
"ongoing tragic events". Yes, because that's all it is.
And for comic
relief, Syria's captain Abdelrazaq Al Hussain gives a very technical
description of Singapore's tactics against Japan and how they stopped
Japan scoring by "playing realistically and responsibly". Well done
chaps, how realistic of you to realize that without being responsible
Japan might have scored a couple of goals.
