32 second delays for fans in mainland and no close up? better than no "live" games at all.

TBH, I'd quite welcome getting the Chinese feed. Many close-ups of exulting fans when a goal is scored are at best unedifying, and I'm really not excited by seeing what they had for breakfast. And another thing. Just about every corner kick is delayed by the referee wandering into the box and doing his "George, don't do that" routine. Why? All the players know perfectly well what's allowed and what isn't. The ref should just let them get on with it, and award a penalty instantly there's a defensive infringement. It might take a couple of games, and maybe the odd red card, but the message would get through soon enough. Yes, as it happens, the team I drew in the sweepstake is on the plane home, but no way am I bitter

Let's hope that the Senegal defence on Sunday is as disorganised as their parliment.

Having decided I was utterly uninterested in this world cup I now find myself having watched about four games in two days. Oh well.

Yes, though if your German, Belgian, Danish or Qatari amongst others only as a non-participatory event 😁
