That was a really dumb pen to give up.

Panama give so much space and Qatar making these vertical runs makes me think we’re not done at 3-3
By home-grown, I don't mean all players were born there. But many were born in Qatar and those born abroad, a majority seem to have moved there in early childhood. So not too different from other countries it seems.

Muntari stood out as particularly not a Qatari name. Thought he might be related to Sulley but looks like no direct relation even though they’re both Ghanaian.

Anyways, that was surprisingly fun to watch. Afif seemed to tire at the end but he’s too good for the Qatari league. Stood out.
Their biggest "ringer" is Ro ro, who seemed to have become a Qatari citizen at like age 20 (after playing for Benefica youth). But again, lots of players could have played for two countries...Podolski and Zaha come to mind.
I am rooting for Qatar in that group. Their manager managed the Barcelona Youth from 1996-2006. He might know a thing or two about developing talent.

I know it’s not on their players or manager, but it’s hard to root for a nation that bribed their way to a World Cup and then had over 6000 migrant workers literally die to get their stadiums built.
Deaths in Qatar: 6,500 Migrant Workers Have Died Constructing 2022 World Cup Site
In this weekend's hot clicks: More than 6,500 migrants have died constructing the 2022 World Cup site in Qatar, a March Madness PSA and more
I don't want to know how the sausage was made.

It’s a blood sausage in this case
I mean I don't want to turn this thread into a current affairs argument, but it's easy for me to root for the USA and we're guilty of all sorts of atrocities...especially with regards to our southern border the last few years.

Yes best to not get into it here as I don’t think there’s equivalence. No nation is without sin, but if any western country allowed 10 people to die working to prepare for an entertainment event it wouldn’t be stood for. There would be immediate repercussions. In Qatar it’s literal thousands and no one bats an eye. Why is that?

On a lighter note, apparently Granada has a population the size of Billings, Montana. Amazing they can find 11 players and not get absolutely embarrassed here.

I just looked at our immigrant labor deaths and it ain't pretty. The article is somewhat misleading as well. They just state a big number. How many of those dead over a decade were from natural causes? How many were suicide. Again I don't want to make this a big fight and off topic boo boos for both of us. Just reread that article from 10000 feet of you could.
Billings is looking up for it so far.
