To Watch or not To Watch….. That is the question!
The great moral dilemma is whether to watch the World Cup or not and I’m torn.
Reasons to Boycott:
- In the wrong place… Qatar’s human rights record stinks
- At the wrong time…. It’s in the middle of our season
- England are a deeply unattractive side to watch with a deeply risk averse manager
- Wales might do well and we would have to watch Gareth Bale making stupid heart signs
- The best passer of the ball in the England squad is being taken as a back-up because of injuries to less accomplished players
Reasons to Watch
- England might (big might) win
- Brazil might play like in 1970
- Holland might discover a new Cruyff, Gullit, Van Basten and Rijkard all at the same time
- Lionel Messi
- Germany might get stuffed by everybody they play
- Harry Kane might explode in indignation after not being given a penalty for an obvious dive
Are there too many “mights” in the reasons to watch column?
