The Fifa Congress in Doha on Thursday gave a foretaste of the discussions leading up to the start of the World Cup in winter. And he demonstrated the constitution of the Fifa executive before the certainly pompous draw tonight (5:55 p.m., ORF 1) in the Exhibition and Convention Center. First, the President of the Ukrainian association, Andriy Pavelko, in a bulletproof vest, addressed emotional words to his colleagues directly from the war zone, but expressly excluded one person from his greeting. In fact, Russia is represented in Doha, even though its team was excluded from World Cup qualifying.
