Somewhat surprisingly, we seem amongst our many channels, to have one that is carrying the World Cup. Commentary of course is in Turkish but J quite content to watch with the sound turned off, although in these days of internet radio it would be quite possible to listen to BBC radio commentary and watch Turkish television sans sound. Memories of my father in the fifties watching hockey in Quebec. In those days CBC French television carried the whole game while CBC English tv only carried it from the second period, so Dad would begin watching on the French station with the sound turned off and English radio turned on.
Matches ought properly to be accompanied by a drink. Predictive text helpfully suggests 🥃. If only. Efes pilsner gone and all that remains is second half of the bottle of third class Spanish red. Still, fans at the game in Qatar not permitted to drink alcohol at all, so not too badly off.
