Ryan Tubridy says he is glad in a way that Ireland haven't qualified for the World Cup due to the controversy around the tournament taking place in Qatar.
The World Cup kicks off on Sunday, with the hosts facing Ecuador in the opening match of the tournament at 4pm Irish time.
Qatar, where homosexuality is illegal, has been heavily criticised for its human rights record ahead of the tournament, especially around the country's attitude to migrant workers who worked on building the stadiums to host the competition.
