That's Sterling right?

Still putting his boots on the wrong feet and even back to front on this occasion!

Might help his ball control and balance

Read somewhere that they have sold 97% of tickets for the group games. I find that very hard to believe.

The South American teams tend to be very well supported. I expect the Arab nations like Morocco, Tunisia and Saudi to have a lot of fans due to the location, you'll also probably get people from the surrounding Gulf countries going.

I'd be interested to know the source suggesting there was an official action to prevent alcohol being consumed at the grounds..

Apologies for having to post this source but looks like Qatar have backtracked 48 hours before World Cup starts. What a mess.

One of my son's friends lives out there, his wife got a teachers placement and is now on her second contract. He just takes the kids to and from school and plays golf the rest of the time.

As a resident he could apply for as many tickets as he wanted, is going to loads of group matches and also the final taking most of his family along including his parents.

So that is where the tickets are going in the greatest numbers.

So Qatar has struck back against all the critisism and banned alcohol at the grounds.

Will FIFA learn from this disaster of a World Cup, I very much doubt it as money talks.

Does anyone give a flying fuck about this tournament yet?

 

[MCFC1993]

Quite clearly the paying fans to support the tournament as well:

Budweiser reportedly pays $112m to be the sponsor.
