If Costa Rica play Germany on Thursday in a decisive World Cup group game with a goalkeeper without match practice, it is also indirectly due to the Emir of Qatar. Some time ago, more than a year ago, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani visited French club Paris Saint-Germain, which is owned by Qatar’s sports investment company QSI. There he exchanged lively and friendly discussions with the staff of the then head coach Mauricio Pochettino about the situation in goal.
