So is this Bissouma pending case a real thing or is it just one of those rumours? I find it hard that he's just been able to continue playing if he was under investigation. Was he even arrested?

I remember reading the case was gonna get thrown out. I can't imagine teams pursuing him knowing there's a chance he could do time.

I'm half-watching Australia-Peru on mute, so I only just noticed they're playing in Qatar. They moved an entire tournament to November to avoid the obscene Qatari heat, but they're still scheduling June qualifiers there? FIFA bureaucracy is so non-sensical.
The game was played at night. They could theoretically have done the same for the WC, but would mean time zones wouldnt be ideal for global viewership. Also traveling supporters wouldnt be able to go outside during the day lol.
