It has been reported in the press for months that 100 of people were dying by accidents happening at stadium construction. I'm unsure how long this match has been arranged but I don't think it should have been played. Being so close now, the match will no doubt go ahead. I think the holding up of cards is an attention catching idea or red/black/red/black etc due to the deaths which have already happened. I'm afraid I won't be attending or even watching (which is a huge wrench for me).
I think it's a sad indictment on the Blazers who run the National game but as Mr Blatter says 'Money talks!'
This isn't politics, it's lives.
