Just a couple of thoughts.
Are the 'fans' in the stadiums locals wearing the shirts of different teams, or are they actual citizens of the countries?
If the latter, how come all the financial pages state Argentina, Brazil haven't a pot to piss in, but thousands have made the expensive journey?
Are the so-called pundits actual in Doha, or are they just in front of a blue screen in London with the stadium projected in the background? The lighting doesn't seem to change no matter what time of day the transmission.
Felt sorry for the lads who were refused entry dressed as Crudsaders - perhaps not the best of costumes to where in an Islamic state.......... have they never watched 'Kingdom of Heaven?'
You don't fuck about with Saladin!
