Legendary US football writer Grant Wahl has died in Qatar while reporting on the World Cup, with his brother Eric Wahl alleging “I believe he was killed” following a protest in support of the marginalised LGBTI community. The veteran reporter was covering Argentina’s chaotic quarter-final win over the Netherlands when he collapsed. He was rushed to hospital but passed away, two days after his 48th birthday. The news was announced by his brother and confirmed by the US Soccer Association and NPR.
