Find here all of our live #MONDIAL2022
12:37 : On Twitch, our envoys to Qatar Raphaël Godet and Pierre Godon evoke the latter’s article on the day in 2010 when Qatar won the organization of this World Cup, to everyone’s surprise and in a sulphurous atmosphere. The opportunity to catch up if you missed it yesterday.
12:32 p.m. : Hello @Adrian, and to all those who have asked me this same question. All our information on this World Cup, whether it concerns football or the organization and the controversies that accompany it, are reported by the keyword #MONDIAL_2022. To hide them, you have to click on this keyword at the beginning of one of my posts, and press the button that appears at the top of the column (“exclude” or “follow”, depending on the platform where you read us). This will allow you to respect your desire to boycott this World Cup, or simply to concentrate on the rest of the news.
12:32 p.m. : Indigestion of the world in Qatar… How to delete all the information concerning him on the info thread? Otherwise, I disconnect from franceinfo for 3 weeks (and that would be a shame!).
12:25 p.m. : One of the many subjects raised by those who criticize the attribution of this World Cup to Qatar is its ecological balance sheet. If the air conditioning in the stadiums has attracted a lot of attention, it is transport that will weigh the most in the carbon footprint, underlines this graph by Noé Bauduin. You will find the details in this article, as well as many other figures on this World Cup.
12:22 p.m. : The World Cup which opens just now is that of all excesses. Our journalist Noé Bauduin looked at some figures that underline this, starting with the estimated budget of the competition.
12:07 : Throughout the World Cup, we will be offering four other Twitch live streams on the franceinfo channel on Wednesday November 23, and Thursday December 1, 8 and 15, always at noon, always with Myriam Bonafaa and our envoys Pierre Godon and Raphaël Bucket. They will tell us their impressions on the spot and will be able to answer the questions you ask them about the societal, ecological and economic aspects of the World Cup.
12:03 : A few hours before the launch of the World Cup, our two special correspondents in Qatar Raphaël Godet and Pierre Godon answer your questions live on the Twitch platform for the time to come. The debate has just begun.
12:02 : Let’s remember this Sunday’s news:
The States present in Egypt have reached an agreement, in which the developed countries commit themselves for the first time to the creation of a fund to compensate for the “losses and damages” of the poorest and most vulnerable countries. A historic text, but insufficient in the eyes of many participants, for lack of new commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Here’s what to remember.
A few hours before the opening of the most controversial and disproportionate World Cup in history, the Golden Ball Karim Benzema announced his package: the Blues striker injured his thigh yesterday at the coaching. He will not be replaced in the group, announced Didier Deschamps.
Billionaire Elon Musk, who had made it one of his hobbyhorses in his desire to buy Twitter, lifted the suspension of former United States President Donald Trump. The latter, a candidate for the next presidential election, assures that he wants for the moment to favor another network, Truth Social.
Turkey has announced the launch of an air operation against the Kurds in northern Iraq and Syria, presented as a response to an attack in Istanbul last week.
11:21 a.m. : On the other hand, the other injured Blues, Raphaël Varane, “will be available” for the match against Australia on Tuesday, assures Didier Deschamps. This does not guarantee that the defender will hold.
11:25 a.m. : The Blues will therefore be 25 in Qatar, even if Didier Deschamps has the right to summon a new player until tomorrow, to replace the injured striker. Asked in “Téléfoot” about the possibility of calling a new attacker, the coach replied in the negative, without further justification. End of hope, therefore, for applicants like Wissam Ben Yedder, Moussa Diaby or Martin Terrier.
11:12 a.m. : Didier Deschamps will not call a new player to replace Karim Benzema, he announces.
11:02 : The opening of the World Cup in Qatar is of course in a large part of the press this morning. While regional dailies highlight the bitter taste of this competition organized in Qatar, The Parisian turns to the sporting aspect. Based on a survey of 1,000 Internet users, the daily affirms that only 12% of “soccer fans” will not be watching any games this year.
09:58 : Who will replace Karim Benzema? Didier Deschamps, who was already preparing to have to leave him on the bench against Australia on Tuesday, lined up Olivier Giroud at the forefront of his team in training. The World Cup regulations allow him to summon a new player until tomorrow: in his message, Karim Benzema alludes to this, explaining that he prefers “let [sa] room for someone who can help our group”, but the coach has not announced whether he will. Wissam Ben Yedder, Benzema’s understudy at the Euro, appears as the main candidate.
09:54 : Karim Benzema, aged 34, will probably never compete in a new World Cup. Selected in 2014, he was dismissed in 2018 when the Blues won the world title. A month ago, he won the Ballon d’Or: a British journalist advance that this is the first time that the title holder of this award will not play the world since 1978 and Kevin Keegan. His runner-up, the Senegalese Sadio Mané, also suffered the same fate.
09:48 : In my life I have never given up but tonight I have to think of the team as I have always done so reason tells me to leave my place to someone who can help our group to make a great World Cup. Thank you for all your messages of support ??❤️ https://t.co/SBalX0juAH
09:49 : It was the thunderclap that struck the fans of Les Bleus and, more broadly, all observers of world football yesterday: Karim Benzema was injured in training and will not play in the World Cup. The forward spoke on social media late last night: “Reason tells me to leave my place”he writes, while doubts remained at first on the possibility of his recovery in the course of the competition.
09:10 : Let’s start by recalling the information of the last few hours, and there is a lot of it:
The States present in Egypt have reached an agreement, in which the developed countries commit themselves for the first time to the creation of a fund to compensate for the “losses and damages” of the poorest and most vulnerable countries. A historic text, but insufficient in the eyes of many participants, for lack of new commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
A few hours before the opening of the most controversial and disproportionate World Cup in history, the Golden Ball Karim Benzema announced his package: the Blues striker injured his thigh yesterday at the coaching. It is not yet known whether Didier Deschamps will call a player to replace him.
Billionaire Elon Musk, who had made it one of his hobbyhorses in his desire to buy Twitter, lifted the suspension of former United States President Donald Trump. The latter, a candidate for the next presidential election, assures that he wants for the moment to favor another network, Truth Social.
