People in power lied non-shocker. Good to see a few highlights shows on most nights, in case I fall asleep in some games.

On the theme of highlights and falling asleep, can someone post a TV schedule of the matches of when they're being shown on BBC/ITV?

Another injury blow for France as Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema is ruled out of the tournament after suffering a thigh injury in training.

Interesting that there's been virtually nothing related to BBC's presentation in the build-up. The trailer, understandably, made no mention of Qatar. When the Winter Olympics were in China earlier this year, the opening titles were generic, with no reference to China at all. Will we something similar with the World Cup coverage? Might they even just use the Match of the Day theme...?

So BBC have gone with bright, garish visuals with no Qatar references and an awful generic theme tune with old commentary clips mixed in ..

The BBC not celebrating Qatari culture. That's a good thing, isn't it ?

Someone needs to tell Dion Dublin less is more! He barely shuts up! Great game though, shame the first goal was ruled out for a questionable offside which wasn’t explained in the weird 3D graphics!

Ecuador start the tournament with a win against a very poor Qatar side. Enner Valencia scored twice in the first half having had a 3rd minute goal inexplicably ruled out for offside. Qatar become the first host nation to lose its opening game at the World Cup.

I don't object to the idea of a winter World Cup. After all, why should some countries be ruled out of ever hosting it for something they can do nothing about? However, on top of all the non-footballing reasons for not giving it to Qatar, it shouldn't go to a country that has never come close to qualifying.
