I am confident the players and personnel are aware that given the situation any EU country (and many others) will grant them asylum, and where their embassies in Qatar are. Which isn't to say "all is well". Far from that.

I must watch that game tomorrow. It's gonna be textbook "120% effort" from the Iran squad. There will be red. Cards, or blood, or both.

Regardless. Can we just play soccerball, please?
