If they were the cause, it was likely something like that

When they run the whole country, wouldn't be hard to get something in his drink, or even just on his body

Out of the russian playbook

Interesting that NOW you want to boycott. Never mind the thousands of workers deaths and human rights abuses over the past 10 years.

It should be noted that as concerning as this news is, there's nothing yet to suggest anything malicious.

Interesting that you didn't want to boycott prior either you know with the diving and anti football Croatians in the semis.

If they can establish that the Qatar government was involved, this should be paused briefly and resumed somewhere with game ready pitches and decent stadiums outdoor or indoor. They could finish in a single stadium at this point.

I don't understand, what did he do that they want to kill him? And doing it while the whole world is watching?

He did publish this article yesterday

After being kicked out of an earlier game for his rainbow shirt.

It definitely would be incredibly brazen to do it now and not later on when fewer people are looking. But considering the obscene level of bribery to make this event happen, and the utter lack of care about the migrant worker deaths, I also wouldn't put it past them. Cooperation now is paramount for them, given the virtually negative goodwill they have with the western world anything but complete transparency here will not be accepted.

Thanks, didn't know. That's horrible that they kill him for just that.

It might not come from the top either. I know nothing of Qatar politics, but I'd guess there are hardliners within the upper echelons that could take an unauthorized action like this.

There's a non zero chance he also actually got sick and died of something respiratory. ESPN is covering that he did write about being ill and it turning into bronchitis that required antibiotics. I don't know how much over zero it is, but I guess it's possible that this is a crazy coincidence.

This just reinforces that an event like this should never be in a country like this period.

I don't understand what he's trying to say either, my English is deteriorating.

I think you may have a fever

Can't see it bring malicious. The BBC has been 100x more critical then anyone. It's not like Linekar died.

Grant Wahl is really a nobody in the soccer world.

I'm sorry, what?

He's been covering the sport for decades, likely the leading soccer journalist in America, especially while he was with SI.

[vennegoor of hesselink]

I don't get how Croatia is getting slanted by playing anti football when they had 51% possession against Brazil

[chemgear]

Soccer fans didn't give a #### when hundreds of slaves died, better not disturb their entertainment. No beer?! Holy ####balls. Now a US journalist is dead and meh, I mean I hear that he's just a nobody in the soccer world.
