I dunno, he was big on how committed he was to QPR, rejected a move to Wolves but didn't hesitate with Rangers. not particularly cool in my book.
maybe he thought wolves wasnt a big enough club to match his ambitions....but all managers, players, clubs do it, so no different for beale

That's incorrect: Japan checked with me, and I said I preferred morning games.
yet now your asking why its not a later evening game....how bizzare

Simple: these bloody corrupt Qataris didn't consult me. So I want to know what crazy logic they DID use. Who DID they consult??

It would have been a lose, lose situation for him I would imagine.
Wolves struggling at the bottom, QPR at the time were flying high if I recall so can't blame him.
Hopefully our new bloke can spark some life into them and I'm sure he'll have more influence on transfers than Beale would have had.

It was also played in the best spirit I can remember, over many recent WC games (yes, including my beloved national team!).Mbappe impressed me especially - he never seemed to dish-out any niggles or acting.
The "shoe-laces" incident was interesting; he was sat on the ground after the tackle, not nursing his wounds, but trying to fix his shoe; it was clear evidence of being stamped on. Several players offered their hand to help him up, but he waved them away; he knew he'd been on the end of a painful late tackle, and the evidence was right there under everyone's nose. No retribution, no hounding the ref, no play-acting; just a player reacting honestly.
Then he swapped shirts with PSG teammate Hakimi at the end. First shirt-swap I've seen in this tournament - the two seem to have a bit of a bromance
It was Hakimii who did the penguin dance after scoring the winning pen against - I think - Portugal.

Everyone is committed to their employer until they aren't. Can you imagine a manager coming out and saying, well I'm only here until something better turns up?
Also, obviously anyone who doesn't hesitate when my club come calling is particularly cool in my book.
<aside>I really do like that form of expression; they are until they're not. I don't know why. I think I find it fatalistic</aside>

You don't consult FIFA, you pay them to do what you want.
