At some point in the last few days the Khalifa Stadium in Al Rayyan was also dropped. It's the old national stadium - being expanded for WC 2022, and so presumably isn't completed yet either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahrain 0-0 Iraq Qatar 2-1 Oman Mauretania 0-1 UAE Syria 2-0 Tunisia Own goal 7min into 2nd half injury-time sent unconvinving hosts Qatar through. UAE through... their winner came 3min into 2nd half stoppage-time... but shock defeat for favourites Tunisia. Tunisia had a player sent-off 10min into first half added-time. If these sort of delays are going to be repeated at WC it's going to get farcical. Halves are regularly being extended 10-15min. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The confederations cup has now died so a new warm up tournament is required even if France, Italy and Argentina aren’t interested FIFA putting their badge on an Arab tournament is new but they’ve been endorsing the pre World Cup dress rehearsal for a quarter of a century Plus ça change, plus ce la même chose And given the question marks over the hosts abilities to deliver the real deal practicing with a 16 team tournament instead of eight is probably a good idea Was there not a pre tournament for usa 94 also 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted December 3, 2021 Author Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) France, Mexico and Saudi Arabia all hosted the Confederations Cup entirely unconnected to World Cups. It was played every 2yrs until 2009. There was also a warm-up tournament for Euro 1992: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scania_100_Tournament and Euro 1996: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbro_Cup EDIT: Oddly enough Japan v Brazil at the Umbro Cup was played at Goodison in Liverpool even though Anfield was used for Euro 96. Similarly the opening USA v Brazil game at the US Cup in 1993 and Italy v Portugal in 1992 tournament were played at the Yale Bowl in New Haven, which wasn't used for WC 94.

They meet in QFs... as do Qatar and UAE, local rivals which had until recently totally severed diplomatic ties. Last meeting was marred by eligibility protests, ticket disputes, crowd trouble and slipper-throwing.
