UHD HDR, this is why I love my LG OLED

Seems a lot darker than normal telly

 

[NooBish AbbZ]

I’m normally buzzing for the World Cup, this just seems dire.

It’s football so it should be amazing but I’m just not feeling it.

Agreed. I'll have it on, but, I'm not so fussed

All fine here

 

[Robbo]

Can't accuse the BBC of not putting the boot in on Qatar (rightly so of course).

 

[.:MBK:.]

Hope their brought their own security, can see them being evicted at this rate

 

[fez]

I doubt I will end up watching much of this WC all said. England games and a few choice matches between the big guns. The excitement just isn't there.

 

[ic1male]

Surprised the BBC satellite link isn’t terminated with all this criticism of the hosts.

 

[Akura]

6 months of Prep for qatar for this event, practising tactics and stuff, let's see how they do... I predict an earlier exit.

This tournament is going to spawn a whole host of memes for generations to come.

This is why its a ******* world cup

Build up to opening game and i’m listening to a human rights debate and not anything about football

 

[Robbo]

It's basically a Panorama episode at this point.

Lol they got Jeremy Bowen on a world cup program. He is normally in a bullet proof vest and UN helmet. Haha. BBC proper bants.

Ok don't rub it in, I've got a 9 year old HD Sony.

Bit over the top or what?

 

[el_dazza]

100% this is will be 0-0 or 1-0. Both dreadful teams.

 

[MissChief]

Probably going heavy now so they can back off a little later on. They can’t mention it before every game.

Summed up fairly well by Shearer.

Every country has its own issues, including our own. We are far from perfect.

But we were there in 2010 when Qatar was awarded the World Cup and were as surprised as anyone. It was announced as a summer World Cup, air conditioned stadiums, air conditioned fan fests.

Then six years later, it is announced it'll be played in winter. Three months ago, it is announced the first game is moved and 11 of those 22 members who voted have either been sanctioned, fined or banned for life from football.

That is where we are with this World Cup.
