    To be fair we “ban” alcohol in most parts of the stadium in England and entirely in Scotland. 
  • I think it's funny. Budweiser will probably sue FIFA. I'd love it if European fans asked for a reimbursement of their tickets under the claim that they were sold under false pretences.

    Maybe the Qatari police will suddenly become stricter than previously stated and it will cause a problem with European countries demanding release of their citizens from prison.

    The more to make FIFA regret their decision, the better.

    Whatever the case I'm building up to this World Cup with full excitement and I'm going to watch as much as normal in honour of those who gave their lives to build the stadia.

    On my sofa I can have an alcoholic beer, swear, and ask my wife to watch topless whilst I wank off another bloke if that's what I choose, lol.

    If England win the world Cup...(always a big if)

    The English players may initially just feel like treating the rest of the season as a kick about! 

    They'd have already won the best of the best trophy and hit a big peak of their career

    Imagine lifting the world Cup then....6 weeks later, lifting the carebo cup.

    FIFA will probably ask Qatar to pay the compensation Budweiser will seek and Qatar will probably tell them to take it out of their bribe money.

    Agree but better than none. I think it was originally scheduled for Monday which is why there are 'only' three games on Monday and four games on the subsequent days.

    Currently on the way up to Port Vale, but absolutely cannot think about anything else besides the World Cup right now.

    When do you fly out? - I presumed you'd already be out there for the Iran game?

    Anyone any idea how many England are expected to go over?

    The England Supporters Travel Club — numbering 20,000 members in total — has seen around 3,000 members apply for each group stage game, as well as 4,772 for the final.

    England’s final group stage match against Wales, which takes place at the smaller Al Rayyan Stadium, is the only game to be oversubscribed.

    Apparently 100000 Brits live in Qatar so that should up the numbers a bit.

    Yes but normally it's on a Friday, or even a Thursday evening, leading into a week end of football. This time it really gets started on a Monday 😐
