At the time, Australia went out in the first round with 1 vote to Qatar's 11, because Australia just doesn't have Qatar's je ne sais quoi.

Ignore the politics and wait for the football to start. That's all I'm interested in. If the whole political side of it was that big a deal a lot, it not all nations would have vetoed thus a long time ago.

A Winter WC has seen many big names out due to injury. Another reason why Qatar is a shambles.

Can't really blame Qatar for players being injured, however I'm not so sure they are really injured tho but are choosing not to play in that country.

England, France, Holland, and Argentina all to win their 3 group games. 50/1.

 

I’ve said for a while Denmark finish above France so expecting that to fuck me.

 

I backed Denmark to win their group on that predictor sheet.

Think they beat France twice in the nations league as well.
