Legendary coach Arsene Wenger has criticised the Socceroos for taking the Qatari regime's human rights record to task in a video made prior to the World Cup kicking off - then praising their historic campaign in Qatar.
Former Arsenal manager Wenger, who is FIFA's chief of global football development, slammed teams who have made 'political demonstrations' about Qatar's human rights record and treatment of LGBTQ people.
Speaking at a media briefing at the end of the cup's group stage, Wenger, 73, suggested that teams taking political stances before the competition failed because they weren't 'mentally ready'.
