World Cup diary
Sports show reporter Marcus Bark reports in the World Cup diary about the football World Cup in Qatar, his impressions and encounters.
Yeah, works great with the number, just talking about football. Did Gianni Infantino do a good job of lining up the ranks.
Hardly anyone talks about football. It’s not because of the ranks, it’s because of Infantino. The angel of peace from Qatar, who wished for ceasefires during the tournament, is now going into battle himself.
Had been upgraded for a long time. The Swiss (also called “the FIFA”) against Europe. This could get bloody.
Topics of the day: football and politics
The captain’s armband with the inscription “One Love” is the trigger for the open campaign. Humanity is pretty crazy. How must women in Iran feel when they hear about it?
The Iranians played soccer and didn’t sing. That’s why there was talk about more than football.
Return journey from the northern tip of Qatar from the German quarter to Doha. Check out Twitter to see if it’s still there. A little distraction would be good, something funny. But it’s mainly about football, so about politics.
Friendly group at the opening game
Colleague Feldenkirchen from “Spiegel” writes about a screenshot of the transmission of the opening ceremony: “Really nice group there at the World Cup. Below right, for example: the man who had the journalist Jamal Ahmad Khashoggi dismembered with a bone saw.”
I mean the Saudi crown prince. He may be granted immunity in the US, although Americans are convinced that Mohammed bin Salman ordered Khashoggi’s assassination.
Then finally comes distraction. Via WhatsApp. Cash audit in January, annual general meeting of the football club in February. For the first time since Corona. Lots to check. Lots of receipts for referees who sometimes got 16.20 euros, sometimes 31.70 euros including travel expenses to spend a few hours kicking around in the district league.
In addition, it is easy to observe during the test how the roll prices are developing. On Sundays, the booth service always fetches 30 pieces for the sausages. “Receipt please in the register.”
