I like how in one of those "highlights" clips half of it is him walking back to his own half after the other side scored a penalty lol lol lol
As we well know, the Man with the Golden Calf has found it difficult lately to even walk on a green football pasture. That clip shows progress cousin. Progress like never seen before, except with pitted dates and itching burqas for Saturday wives.
 


Two days until Cup Final.
Due to high demand, weekend wives can no longer be exchanged for fan cards.
Tuesday wives, Wednesday wives, and well-perfumed Thursday wives can still be exchanged

WHY BOTHER BUYING A TICKET? EARN YERSELF SOME MONEY LAD lollollol
This is from 2015 but could well still be happening -

DOHA, Qatar (AP) — The men grappled with each other to board the quickly filling bus. Others wriggled in through the windows, scaling the outside, using the large wheels as footholds and leaving scuff-marks on the white exterior with their shoes.
These weren't refugees fleeing disaster. They were migrant workers in 2022 World Cup host Qatar, fighting to earn a few dollars. The job: Pretend to be a sports fan.
When the world's second-richest people per capita can't find time or be bothered to fill their sports arenas, migrant workers are paid to take their place.
Thirty Qatar riyals — equivalent to $8 — won't buy a beer in the luxury waterside hotel in Doha, the capital, where Qatari movers-and-shakers unwind. But for this pittance, workers from Africa and Asia sprint under blinding sun in the Doha industrial zone where they're housed and surround a still-moving bus like bees on honey. They sit through volleyball, handball and football, applaud to order, do the wave with no enthusiasm and even dress up in white robes and head-scarves as Qataris, to plump up "home" crowds.
A survey of 1,079 Qatar residents published this January by the Ministry of Development Planning and Statistics suggested that paid fans may be turning Qataris off sport. The ministry said two-thirds of Qataris surveyed did not attend any football matches during the previous season and two-thirds of respondents cited "the spread of paid fans" as a "significant reason" keeping audiences away.
