Lichfield Dean Posted December 14, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 14, 2022 Looks like no foul play here then, as I expected. Poor guy just suffered a major rupture. Quote Grant Wahl died from a ruptured aortic aneurysm while working at the World Cup in Qatar, says his widow. The journalist collapsed in a World Cup press box during the Argentina-Netherlands quarter-final on Friday. The 48-year-old American had described feeling pressure in his chest in the days leading up to the game. His wife Celine Gounder said an autopsy performed by the New York City Medical Examiner's Office concluded there was nothing untoward in his death. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63973929 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Nice! Quote FIFA rebuffs Zelensky’s request to share message of peace at World Cup final A request by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to share a message of world peace prior to kickoff at the World Cup final on Sunday has been rebuffed by FIFA, a source told CNN. The source said Zelensky’s office is offering to appear in a video link to fans in the stadium in Qatar, ahead of the game and was surprised by the negative response. It’s unclear if Zelensky’s message would be live, or taped. “We thought FIFA wanted to use its platform for the greater good,” the source said. However, talks between Ukraine and the sport’s governing body are still underway, the source added. CNN has reached out to FIFA for comment, but it did not immediately respond. The request, while unorthodox, is unsurprising. Kyiv has repeatedly tried to use major world events, regardless of their theme, to keep the global spotlight on the war in Ukraine. At a news conference Friday, Infantino said FIFA had stopped some “political statements” in Qatar because it has to “take care of everyone.” “We are a global organization and we don’t discriminate against anyone,” Infantino said. “We are defending values, we are defending human rights and rights of everyone at the World Cup. Those fans and the billions watching on TV, they have their own problems. They just want to watch 90 or 120 minutes without having to think about anything, but just enjoying a little moment of pleasure and joy. We have to give them a moment when they can forget about their problems and enjoy football.” https://edition.cnn.com/2022/12/16/football/zelensky-fifa-intl/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
