“When we are in France, when we welcome foreigners, we often want them to follow our rules, to respect our culture, and I will do the same when I go to Qatar, quite simply,” he said last week.

“I can agree or disagree with their ideas, but I have to show respect.”

What's the best way to watch if one doesn't have cable tv? Don't want anything to do with Bellmedia signup.
Any options for poor Canadians :(

^ Scroll back a page or 2. Somebody was kind enough to leave a free link with several streams. (y) The question is finding the best one closest to "real-time" . Most of these streams are lagging a bit compared to what was broadcasting on my TV yesterday.

Just checked and CTV's Channel 9 without cable (OTA) is showing this USA vs Wales match right now. They did not show the 2 matches earlier. 2pm is usually Dr. Phil, so I guess they got rid of him for this match. (y) LOL

Streams: http://www.rojadirecta.me/

I have IPTV but I use those streams as backup in case it goes down
You can get rojadirecta on Kodi. Used to watch the soccer in that stream service that was located in one of the Addons. However, there were too many links and most of them did not work. Very cumbersome scrolling through all the links to find one that works. But IPTV is holding up perfectly so far.

Not this time, England are winning it all.

We'll see once they play one of the bigger/faster teams. But the English have very good players and coordination.

World Cup 2022: Fans enraged as BBC snubs opening ceremony with human rights report


Qatar opened this year's World Cup with a dazzling opening ceremony fronted by Hollywood legend Morgan Freeman, but fans tuning in via the BBC were left in the dark as the British broadcaster chose to skip the first half-hour of the event.

At first BBC One chose to continue coverage of the Women's Super League match between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, but instead of switching over to the live performance once the match finished it aired a pre-recorded report on Qatar's human rights record.

"It's the most controversial World Cup in history and a ball hasn’t even been kicked," said the Match of the Day host Gary Lineker at the start of the segment, before diving into criticism against Qatar’s treatment of women and migrant workers, free speech and a series of other issues.

"Ever since Fifa chose Qatar back in 2010, the smallest nation to have hosted football’s greatest competition has faced some big questions - from accusations of corruption in the bidding process to the treatment of migrant workers who built the stadiums where many lost their lives," Lineker said.

"Homosexuality is illegal here. Women’s rights and freedom of expression are in the spotlight.

"Against that backdrop, there’s a tournament to be played – one that will be watched and enjoyed around the world. Stick to football, say Fifa. Well, we will – for a couple of minutes at least."

Lineker's opening comments were followed by a nearly 30-minute censure of Qatar from the BBC’s Ros Atkins, who eviscerated the Gulf nation on a slew of issues with a combination of interviews, footage and graphics, diving into a list of rights criticisms as well as the event’s carbon footprint.

When I saw the England lineup before the game, I thought Southgate had it wrong and that it was going to be a close game - especially without Phil Foden who has been lighting it up for Man City. I was flat out wrong. Obviously. Six goals without a single one from Kane. Impressive. The nimbleness of Saka, Sterling, etc. was great to see. However, the defense was hardly troubled. That is their Achilles heal.
