From the preview of the David Hutner World Cup draw, in which Gareth Southgate answers questions about Qatar’s sad history of labor rights, illegal homosexuality and the male-dominated system that denies women the right to their lives? “It’s the first World Cup in a Muslim country, the first in the Middle East and it’s the first World Cup in the middle of the season, so it’s a huge different feeling, culturally,” Southgate said, carefully grading his response. “But I went to the World Cup in South Africa [in 2010] – for the first time on the African continent – and it was an amazing experience. I went to Brazil [in 2014] – again, an amazing experience. “Part of the World Cup is to visit places you have not had the opportunity to go to. “I love traveling and if there is a trip to go somewhere to improve my knowledge of the world and culture, I am the first to say so.” Southgate is not blind to the social situation in Qatar. Away from that. Neither did his players, especially since they were introduced early last week. Midfielder Jordan Henderson described the content as “shocking” and “horrible”.

German artist Volker-Johannes Trieb threw 6,500 soccer-shaped sandbags at a FIFA car park in protest of the deaths of migrant workers in Qatar. “World conscience, you are a speck of shame” was written on the balls, which are intended to symbolize the 6,500 workers who died on the construction sites of the World Cup in Qatar.

Kári Tulinius contacted me to correct my mistake in the World Cup draw for the first time. “The supposedly golden draw of the US, Iran and Canada, apart from the fact that it looks like a rather difficult group, can not actually happen because two teams from the same confederation can not be in the same group, with the exception of the European groups. which can be two “. I still think someone would happily take the US from Pot 2 though! Pot 2 Mexico, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Uruguay, Switzerland, USA, Croatia.

Preamble
Welcome to what can only be described as a bumper version of Friday’s football blog. Not only do we bring you the usual tempting news about Premier League teams and hot coaching quotes, but Friday, good people, is just the day of the World Cup draw! The release of the mini footballs does not actually take place until 5 p.m. UK time, so much time to let useless speculation run. Will Argentina take Nigeria again? Will England get a club so bad that Harry Kane can probably finish the Golden Boot before the knockout phase? Will we post this video of Alan Partridge’s 1994 World Cup draw? Answers: a) it can not happen (Nigeria has not qualified), b) maybe, if England gets the golden draw of the USA, Iran and Canada, c) yes. Return to home affairs and Liverpool have an early start on Saturday. With 73 points behind Manchester City in one stadium, he could reach the top in about 150 minutes with a home win over Watford. Reds fans better get a script at the table before Burnley 0-4 Manchester City at 15:00. Updated at 10.04 a.m. BST

Some excerpts from Antonio Conte ahead of Tottenham’s match against Newcastle on Sunday. There are four teams that are stronger than the others. Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and United. If you ask me about the possibility of reaching the Champions League [when I took over] I would say very, very, very difficult, but now I think we have to try and fight to the end. We have the ability to achieve this goal. It is important to have this ambition. Playing Champions League is important for me, it is important for the club, important for the players, for everyone. It is an important goal for many reasons. You can plan important things.

LGBTIQ + group says seizure of rainbow flags “unacceptable”
Removing the rainbow flags from fans at the World Cup later this year would be an unacceptable act by the Qatari authorities, the Fare network said. A senior security official of the host country government told the Associated Press that the flags could be confiscated from people to protect them from being attacked by others. Fare, which was part of a team of 16 organizations seeking assurances from the LGBTIQ +’s fan’s tournament organizers, said the proposal to remove the flags to ensure safety would be considered a pretext and that “the biggest danger “for the community was the state and not the intolerant supporters. “The security assurances we request from the High Commission and the Government of Qatar are unequivocal,” the network said in a statement. “The LGBTIQ + community should have freedom of expression and be protected in the exercise of these rights. This is the international rule. “The rainbow flag will be worn by thousands of people in Qatar, by LGBTIQ + visitors and regular supporters. The idea that the flag, which is now a recognized and universal symbol of diversity and equality, will be removed by people to protect them, will not be accepted and will be considered a pretext. “From our experience in Qatar and the work we have done there, we do not expect the local population of Qatar or visitors to be attacked for wearing the rainbow flag, the greatest danger comes from government action.” Qatari law criminalizes same-sex relationships, but FIFA and the High Commissioner insist that supporters of the LGBTIQ + community will be admitted to the country during the World Cup.

And here is your official anthem for Qatar 2022. Or one of them, it seems like they are offsetting their bets with a few releases. Better Together is reminiscent of Scotland’s 2015 independence referendum, with some #FPBE vibrations, too. The song itself is the expected autotune wash. Hayya Hayya (Better Together) is the first single from the Official Soundtrack of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 ™ with many songs.

Some may want to focus on football at this year’s World Cup. You may see some calls for this. But this is the harsh truth of the tournament being held in Qatar. The state-of-the-art stadiums that Fifa and the local organizers boast about were created because of this. But despite the billions spent, the infrastructure of the Qatar World Cup has been built cheaply. Hundreds of thousands of workers have been forced to pay for their own employment and work for years earning poverty wages. In villages and towns across South Asia and parts of Africa, young men desperate for work enlist in recruitment agents who, often in collusion with companies or brokers in Qatar, illegally extort huge sums of money in exchange for a job. A low-wage Bangladeshi worker may need a year of hard work just to get his pay back.

There is Liverpool and there is Manchester City, the real leaders of the league. Sid Lowe spoke to Aymeric Laporte. We are human, the world must understand: as we defeated United, we lost to Palace. You can not explain it with money. No matter how much a player costs, that does not mean he will be the best. It is not an exact science. We are leaders, one step ahead of Liverpool. We have the best defense – and [yet] people are throwing defense issues at us. I do not want to imagine what our neighbors…

Time to get dizzy in Merseyside? (Not Everton, obviously.) Andy Hunter does not understand why not. Liverpool have lost two points in the Premier League since the change of the year. City seven points in the last seven league games. There have been 16 wins in 19 games in all competitions in 2022, including a remarkable penalty shoot-out victory over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final and their only defeat, by Internazionale in the Champions League, could not derail their progress to the quarter-finals. . total. Benfica is waiting for next week. The Portuguese club is third in the Primeira Liga. Liverpool beat top Porto 5-1 and 2-0 in the group stage this season. No team in the top four categories of England has conceded fewer league goals at home …
