Jon Couture at Boston Globe:
Soccer journalist Grant Wahl collapsed and died while at Friday’s World Cup quarterfinal between Argentina and Netherlands in Qatar.
Wahl’s brother Eric, posting on Instagram, wrote that Grant Wahl was given CPR and taken by Uber to a hospital, where he died, according to his wife, infectious disease expert Dr. Celine Gounder. Wahl, a renowned soccer writer for Sports Illustrated for more than two decades, had gone to the World Cup to work both for CBS and his own subscription newsletter.
Wahl last tweeted late in Friday’s match. His death has since been confirmed by NPR, with US Soccer putting out a statement expressing its heartbreak and that ”Grant’s passion for soccer and commitment to elevating its profile across our sporting landscape played a major role in helping to drive interest and respect for our beautiful game.”
He made headlines early in the tournament by trying to enter a Cup venue in a rainbow T-shirt, “in support of LGBTQ rights in a country where same-sex relationships are illegal.” Wahl reported he had his phone taken from him during a long confrontation at the stadium media entrance, though he was eventually allowed to enter without changing the shirt.
US Soccer journalist Grant Wahl, who is covering the World Cup in Qatar, died while covering the Netherlands v. Argentina quarterfinal game that went to penalties in which the Argentines won.

The Most Important Thing with Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris
[Ashlyn gives her thoughts on how the 2022 FIFA World Cup has participants ignoring the LGBTQ+ community]
Why do you think our men and our coaches don’t feel like they can speak on this topic?
I don’t know what they feel, because they don’t talk about it. I don’t know where they stand, because they don’t stand for—they’re not outwardly standing for anything.
You can’t just hide behind—I know that the English men wanted to wear the captain band with—I think it was gonna say One Love, which Alex Scott wore as the commentator. That’s—that’s great, it’s a step in the right direction, but I need to hear your—like, when you open your mouth, you tell the world who you are. Tell us who you are. Tell us what you stand for. Tell us what you’re about.
I haven’t heard one player step up and say “This is absolutely unacceptable. FIFA needs to do better. I’m here because, you know, I’m supporting my country and my team, but I also support the LGBTQIA+ community. I’m an ally, and this is not fucking right. And this is not sending the message we want for progress.”
Not one person has done that.
That’s the difference between the men and women. I’m willing to lose it all, to fight for what I believe in, because if I can’t be me…I can’t give this country all of me. I can’t give my team all of me. I’m cheating the game.
It’s not just a job, it’s something completely different. You’ve been given a platform that literally changes the narrative, changes the country. When you talk, people listen.
What are you fucking saying?
Are you just hiding behind the sport because you think, like, “This is the culture we’ve created”?

December 18, 2022
By Franklin Foer
(The Atlantic) —The literary critic Edward Said coined the phrase late style to describe the final works of a composer or writer—when the decay of the body can’t help but inform artistry, when creativity is infused with the bumps, bruises, and wisdom of a life almost fully lived.
In soccer years, 35 makes the Argentine forward Lionel Messi a veritable geriatric. And this World Cup was his final opus, his version of Beethoven’s last string quartets or Monet’s lily ponds. And what makes Argentina’s thrilling triumph something to savor is how this victory was both the culmination of his career and the embodiment of a late style, a performance that carried the melancholic sense of an ending.
At the beginning of the tournament, the pundits agreed on a story line. The two defining figures of the era—Messi and Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo—had won every prize in the game except for the ultimate one. Qatar represented their final opportunity to fill in the gap, to capture a trophy regarded as essential for staking a claim to the best who ever played.
Ronaldo, 37, flailed because he couldn’t adapt to his physical decline. He insisted on playing as if he were 10 years younger. By acting as if he was essential, he became superfluous. And in his final game, a flaccid defeat to Morocco, he came off the bench, contributed little, then left the field in tears—without shaking hands with his opponents or consoling his bereft teammates. It was a pathetic way to exit, befitting a vain career.
That’s the counterpoint to Messi’s victory. Without the legs to carry him, Messi economized his movements. Rather than pretending that he was a young man, he played like an older one. He ambled through games, saving himself for the moments that he could assert himself. He showed a remarkable awareness about how he might be able to parcel out his dwindling corporeal self, how he needed to make choices about when to give himself fully.

Laura Clawson at Daily Kos:
The 2022 FIFA World Cup kicked off this weekend with a new round of controversies relating to its host country. Qatar got the right to host this World Cup in 2010 amid allegations of corruption and bribery and has spent the years since covering up deaths of migrant workers racing to build the stadiums and roads needed for the massive tournament.
Qatar has been accused of “sportswashing”—using the excitement of the World Cup to cover up its human rights abuses—but as the event finally got started, the country seemed more interested in flexing its muscle in ways that have called attention to exactly how oppressive its regime is. On Monday, seven European nations announced that their team captains had abandoned plans to wear OneLove armbands due to a FIFA threat of severe sanctions against anyone doing so.
The rainbow armbands were intended as a statement of support for inclusion and opposition to discrimination—and FIFA, on behalf of Qatar, came down hard, threatening the players from England, Wales, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland with yellow cards.
“We were prepared to pay fines that would normally apply to breaches of kit regulations and had a strong commitment to wearing the armband. However, we cannot put our players in the situation where they might be booked or even forced to leave the field of play,” the soccer associations of those countries said in a joint statement, adding, “We are very frustrated by the FIFA decision which we believe is unprecedented.”
FIFA is making it clear that it places Qatar’s oppressive anti-LGBTQ policies over any values of or even lip service to inclusion. And the players folded. Yes, the World Cup is the high point of any player’s career, but they caved to a threat of an on-field penalty rather than speaking out against oppression.
Also on Monday, Iranian soccer fans arriving at the stadium with Persian flags were turned away unless they surrendered their flags, which represented a protest against Iran’s theocratic government—the official Iranian flag has an Islamic symbol and message, while the Persian flag does not. For their part, and in stark contrast to the European players who abandoned their OneLove armbands, Iran’s players refused to sing the national anthem, while in the stands some fans booed the government anthem and others sang the Persian national anthem.
During Monday's FIFA World Cup action, Iranian fans and their team sent a message while European teams caved to FIFA blackmail about the OneLove armbands.
