WHY NO FIFA GESTURE FOR THE THAI BOYS?
I'm surprised FIFA hasn't done anything to acknowledge the ordeal of the 12 Thai soccer players and their coach, even at the risk that some might view it with cynicism. After all, they are soccer players and the ordeal is taking place during soccer's greatest show. I'm sure the instinct for some kind of gesture would have kicked in if the kids were from Europe or N. America.

They were invited to the Final
Although that will not go through, due to the incubation period, as well as psychological concerns.
I am sure they will be recognized in some other way.

Buhari, whose two terms thankfully ground to a constitutional halt in May. (One thing both democracies have going for them is that their leaders, however bad, have only two terms to swing the wrecking ball.) Under Buhari, growth per head also plunged to 0. An economic agenda drawn from the dusty pages of a 1970s protectionist handbook failed to do the trick. Despite Buhari’s promise to tame terrorism and criminality, violence flourished. Despite his reputation for probity, corruption swirled. FT

...something before kickoff, like they do in response to terrorist incidents in America and Europe, would have been much better. And it's not too late. Heck, I didn't even know about the FIFA offer.

It could have been done - some show of sympathy - while the ordeal lasted. In fact that might have been the best time to do it.

Re: WHY NO FIFA GESTURE FOR THE THAI BOYS?
I agree. They should have sent two teams into the cave to play a group mat h in front of the boys. FIFA don't have to implement your thoughts or idea. They've done what they feel is right. Lets keep praying for the safe return of the boys rather than turning this into another issueBell wrote:THE GESTURE NEED NOT WAIT FOR THE RESCUEmcal wrote:...hold your horses now, kick off neva reach, plus the boys and coach all just came few hours ago.

...BTW, we don't all live in the same time zone. That said, what's wrong with a 30-second show of solidarity in the center circle before one or more of these matches? I've seen them done in incidents of terrorism.

The Thai coach has offered to help the Eagles for free. Methinks he needs to go to jail.

...Thailand is a land of one language, one large ethnicity, hence the boys and their coach represent the whole country. If this were in Africa, and the kids were of different tribe from the president or some oga at the top, no rescue or some halfhearted moves will be made with throwing of book speeches, and english-like inquest, and big big language.
