Drawing the line (Qatar)

[A380]

if england went on with those armbands would the entire team get a yellow card each?

I was wondering this. If the whole team went on with armbands would they all get a yellow? And if so if they refused to take them off would they all then get reds? In either case what would happen next match?

Wouldn't this call FIFA/ Qatar's bluff at the risk of crashing the competition?

Would work well in the final.

As a wanky reformist I’m amazed by how many ‘I’d die in the last ditch got the working class revolution’ types on here are watching the matches.

Easy for me to say I know as I don’t like the thing that international men’s football has become. But I’m still surprised by people prepared to watch.

Right... Enough of this nonsense. I'm going to start a thread.

Just the captain, I think.

I haven't watched it (not even the England match) but that is purely because I am not interested in football I didn't watch any of the last one either (In fact I've just had to google it to realise it was in Russia)
I don't know a single person IRL who is refusing to watch on the grounds of solidarity with LGBT rights or mistreatment of migrant workers. There really is Life and Death and then there's Football it seems.
Though TBF every "Give Me Socialism or Give Me Death" type I know is (sometimes disappointingly) still alive.

What if the whole team did, except the captain?

Or if the team said they were an autonomous collective and didn't believe in captains?

Respect their right to not respect!

Freedom to hate and suppress is a kind of freedom.

Didn’t know you were a reformists tbh

Could we see another shock coming?

Have there been any arrests? I know it's early but I haven't seen any reports so far.

I would imagine Qatar is the sort of place where any but the most foolish would make at least some effort not to get into trouble.

Hopefully for them no European team wins, as they'd send it back.

Amazing what difference 80 years can make!

I'm wondering who, exactly, Budweiser will send it to. It'd be a nice gesture to donate the beer to the Navy of the WC winner to distribute to the enlisted men & women

It's really not all that bad, considering the price. It is an easy beer to drink a lot of...

European countries don't have that same reverence for their armed forces. That's very much an American thing.

I don't think this is quite right.

Start at 4:23 in this video



That video helped me understand a few things that had previously confused me about colour ... like how a linear spectrum of wavelengths can co-exist with the apparently circular continuum of colours that we represent on a colour wheel. It's all about the two peaks in the red cone sensitivity.

Careful, now.

I watched a video that Storm Fox put on here and now I’ve started seeing brown lights all over the place.
