Ronaldo earned 107 million dollars last year.

If Qatar had held the World Cup in June and July 2022 then it would not have made a difference because Ramadan is in April on the Western calendar that year. I think moving it to November has more to do with the temperature being possibly 50c/120f in June/July....

A terrible game - but I don't think anyone in Teheran will care...

Even in his home country we still consider him an idiot,

Ostrava is always the best meeting of the year outside the major championships and the Diamond League.

Maybe with 48 teams in the World Cup we could have more unusual tournaments. Maybe half the tournament in Spain, the other half in Morocco but the final in Paris? Or half in Argentina, half in Colombia, final in Sao Paolo? Half in India, half in China, final in Hong Kong?

In the Soccer Aid charity match in Manchester England 3 Rest of The World 3 England won 4-3 on penalties The actor David Harewood (Homeland, Supergirl) saved 2 penalties in the shoot out before Haydn Christensen (Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in Star Wars) missed the deciding penalty Juan Veron, Clarence Seedorf and Robbie Keane scored for the world team. Micheal Owen, Darren Bent and freestyle footballer Jeremy Lynch for England. Usain Bolt and Mo Farah played against each other.

Which is sad. Some of the people here who follow the sport of cricket may remember his father, Winston Benjamin, who was a fast bowler for Antigua and the West Indies.

I read that British and German Muslim athletes can postpone Ramadan fasting for some months if they get permission from their Imam to make up for it later in the year. Is that not possible in Algeria or is this championship not important enough to do that?

I think we have a prize winner in the "Most stupid doper of all time" category. Iuri Dudoglo was born in Moldova. He competed for Moldova in weightlifting from 2009 to 2013 the moved to Azerbaijan. In his 1st championship for Azerbaijan he fails a drug test and is banned for 2 years (2013-2015). He then moves back to Moldova and competes for then between 2015 and 2017 before failing another drug test at the 2017 European Championships. Because it's a second offense he gets an 8 year ban. He can return when he's 34 in 2025, But the IWF keep him on their testing list (I guess because he doesn't announce his retirement). So this year, 7 years before he can return to competition he fails another test.... This time it will be a life ban...

Actually according to facebook he lives in Béjaïa

This is slightly off the subject but Farah himself does not like it when people say he is from Somalia. He was born in the capital of Somalia but his family comes from Somaliland which wants independence from Somalia He is seen is this video with the flag of Somaliland. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvkWQ3fp6NU https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somaliland https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/صوماليلاند

If the IAAF change his nationality to French I will change it here immediately.

I agree it's a little unfair to list him as Algerian not French. He's completely part of the French athletics system and, though his parents seem to come from Algeria, he doesn't seem to have a connection to Algeria. Unfortunately in this case the IAAF definitely say he opted to run for Algeria, https://www.athleticsintegrity.org/downloads/pdfs/notifications-and-sanctions/en/May-Sanctions-List-FULL.pdf see page 10. And I can't really overrule them. They make the rules... MOSBAH Habib Athlete ALG M Long Distance (3000m+) Doping IAAF Rule 32.2 (a) IAAF Rule 32.2 (b) EPO 04/02/2018 4 years ineligibility
