Here are 11 things I am certain will occur in Qatar
While each World Cup is unique in its own way, and this one in particular, there are some things you can bank on. They appear at every event. The pressure, the publicity, and the overall oeuvre all force individuals into the same habits. You may expect almost any of these to occur at some time during the next month.
The press conference disaster
The only distinction is whether the person is a player or a manager. It's not uncommon for a striker to have a poor first two games. It's not uncommon for the captain to become tired of eating all the garbage between his boss and his players. Sometimes it's a manager who knows he's going to be laid off in the next few days. In either case, there will be a press conference where the first question sends someone off, and no matter the language, you can bet it will be translated as "You are not men!" I'm a guy, but you're not! " while befuddled journalists watch. Generally, this is triggered by a simple inquiry, such as a change in formation or if he is concerned about the next opponent.
Alexi Lalas reaches for a bullhorn story
Lalas aspires to be the Stephan A. Smith of soccer, but he lacks Smith's charisma and understanding (I realize that seems like a low bar to clear, but here we are). This is especially amusing given that Lalas was an MLS executive for a long time and was the Galaxy's general manager when David Beckham was signed. Anyway, Lalas will do all in his power to ensure that every time he talks, he has a decent chance of trending, attempting to produce enough smoke that something catches. Last time, he couldn't wait to blame Spain's struggles on their dismissal of their manager just before the tournament...45 minutes into their first match.
There has to be something simple for him to reach for this time. Given that Argentina joins us on the third day of the competition, let us assume that during halftime of their first encounter, he will allege that Lionel Messi is letting his country down. It's right next to you.
Someone on ESPN who doesn't know anything about soccer yelling as if they do
This is almost certainly going to happen when the United States quits the tournament, citing how disappointing it is, even if it is in the quarterfinals.
Someone was sent home to get PEDs
With FIFA pulling every "Hey, look over there!"
"They will pull every lever imaginable to try to divert from the stupidity of hosting this tournament in Qatar for a multitude of reasons; they will do whatever to appear in command and have the sport's best interests at heart without really hurting its hosts."
A burn warning
During every Germany or England game, a view shows a gathering of supporters with sunburn that falls halfway between "grape" and "strawberry fields."
A commentator on the stereotypical volatile attitude of South American players
When there is a scuffle in the 70th minute of a match between Uruguay and Ecuador.
A sonic force from Seoul
South Korean supporters do not stop applauding during halftime (if you are attending a match).
Mexico will face an existential crisis if they leave
Even if they are constantly bounced at the same place (Round of 16).
Some big team buried a machete (figuratively) in their manager's back before the competition is done
France in 2010 was a classic example of things going wrong. Some big team with huge expectations pulls a full-body dry heave in the group stage, and suddenly the biggest sports paper or section in their country is running anonymous quotes and stories about what a shambles the entire camp has been, and how every player thinks their plans and tactics were drawn up by sugar-loaded kindergartners. If you had to predict, Germany and Belgium would be the safest bets this time. Most of Germany's team already dislikes Hansi Flick, and this is Belgium's only serious shot for a title. Roberto Martinez may easily collide with a bus's undercarriage.
Cristiano Ronaldo is planning a party
And his interview with Piers Morgan will take place after he scores a penalty that is the fourth goal in a 4-0 win over Ghana.
A late-night host making Neymar diving jokes
Definitely Trevor Noah.
