With the desert dust yet to settle on David Beckham's controversial Qatari role the man in question was back at work on Tuesday evening as Argentina faced Croatia in the FIFA World Cup semi-final.
Beckham is being paid a reported £150million to serve as ambassador for a World Cup overshadowed by its host's appalling human rights record and divisive views on inclusivity - namely, maintaining homosexuality as an illegal act.
And he remained firmly in place at Qatar's Lusail Stadium, where the 47-year old former footballer joined more than 88,000 fans as Argentina - thanks to some incredible work from team captain Lionel Messi - secured their place in Sunday's final.
