Yes exactly.

Video article showing the accommodation on bbc. £175 a night for a gazebo; too hot to be in your room at 9am, no shade, no AC. Freezing cold at night I’d think too.

Maybe the British Government are missing a trick at Manston...

Yep

Except Manston gazebos won't be too hot during the day.....

23000 empty seats speaks volumes about the venue.

Did you see the fake (paid) crowds made up of migrant workers?

I did see reports of this, Holland v Senegal half full at best.

Really quite shameful behaviour by the Qatari authorities.

Detaining a woman on request of the Islamic Republic of Iran because they raised a Shir-o-khorshid flag (Iran's flag before the regime changed it)

Why are FIFA holding the world cup in Qatar again???

Harbourers of the Taliban and gin palaces made from the bones of migrant workers... What about their sideways drilling operation into the gas field they "share" with Iran.

He’s a great player, just plays for a diabolical club side and has been victimised to an extraordinary degree.

I normally agree with a lot of what you say Dicky but i'm afraid not this time. He's a bang average defender that was sold to a desparate club for a ridiculous price and has been more than found out since. He was never that good, Leicester caught Man Utd needing to appease their fans. Again. It's the football equivalent of you getting £100k for a diesel Ghibli.

Thankfully no such problems in this Country. I was in Birmingham City Centre and there were 50 plus Iranians waving that same flag and singing and dancing. All peaceful.

I wish that was entirely true but the recent MI5 report suggests otherwise and there is plenty of footage on Instagram of either regime sympathisers or plain clothes basij assaulting peaceful.protestors in London often blindsiding and sucker punching women.

Anyway back to football

Bit like the Chinese ambassadors having a go with HK protestors in Manchester. The FCO really need to get a grip of 'diplomats'

Yes but no British Police arresting them was my point.

The Dutch did well against a decent Senegal side.

C’mon Wales.

That’s a fair call can’t argue with that, but in an England shirt I’ve always been happy with his performances. I don’t watch much Premier League so bow down to your superior knowledge on his fee and club form.
