I really don't like how the meaning of the word 'literally' was expanded to include figuratively as a definition. So now 'literally' means itself and the opposite of itself.
Stupid English language.

Seems like an odd place to play the games though.

Deep joy.
I don't know what is worse: Qatar getting to keep their tournament and having the WC played on stadiums that were built on the deaths of workers during slave like conditions or Qatar losing the right to hold the WC, and thereby meaning that all those immigrant labourers died for nothing. I honestly don't know what alternative feels more meaningless than the other.

The North Koreans going 3-0 up against Portugal then Eusebio beating them 5-3, and Hungary defeating Brazil when a player called Albert stole the show and the Goodison crowd stayed behind chanting his name till he came out for a curtain call. It's on youtube somewhere. Not many will recall 1958 in Sweden but it was the first one to be widely televised thanks to the miracle of "Eurovision". All four home countries qualified and I remember Wales giving Brazil a run for their money in the quarter finals no less, and Paraguay putting seven past the Scots. England had been tipped to do well but were without Roger Byrne, Edwards and Tommy Taylor from the club over the road.
