I read somewhere that this WC has costed as much as several of the last few ones put together. When you have to build almost everything from scratch I guess that costs just pile up...

Hey duque, Eustáquio is playing well, don't you think

*edit* I jinxed him.

Missed the game sorry, I am not exactly in World Cup mood, despite my previous posts. Lots of games not free to watch except  .

The Russian World Cup was the most expensive to date with some graft of course, but the figures for the Wahhabi tournament are crazy.

And the other Portuguese, playing for Chaves (that's not far from Bragança just in case), as Eustáquio used to ? Steven Vitória. He is a bit of penalty shooter, could have mattered yesterday.

Korea holding his own  vs Uruguay. Bento has improved a lot from his last days as coach of Portugal.

[Duque de Bragança]

Of course, Uruguay just hit the post afterwards. They might snatch a win on garra and experience in the end.

Only 1 minute of stoppage time for the firt half: robbery!

This seems a tad expensive.

Yeah, 3/4 of the SA cost was probably Shakira's performance fee.


edit:
to be serious I've heard the Qatar figure is around $200 billion, but that includes new train lines, motorways and what amounts to a new city or two, so a big chunk of that isn't even legacy like the 8 new stadia?

[Duque de Bragança]

Korean team a bit tired with Uruguay dominating and getting some chances but not enough, yet.

[Duque de Bragança]

Uruguay hit again the woodwork, second time of this game. Now unto the stoppage time (7 mins) and Korea almost scored afterwards. 

A tie would be fair I guess.

[Duque de Bragança]

Seemed like a dive to get a free kick to avoid a last attack by Uruguay as the finishing move of the game.

All in all, a tie does seem fair however, another goalless one.

And now we all become Ghanaians.

Une belle petite rancœur recuite, ou amertume, de footix.

Enfin, ça a porté chance en 2016.

I hate what I hate and the Portugal national football team is #2 on that list.
