agree with that - Mexicans , Ecuadoreans , Argentinians best supported. But generally they always have a lot of fans at all tournaments

And one of the highest for tv ratings. The opening Qatar Ecuador game had about 50% more viewers than the opener in Russia.

Yes they are. And seats donated to various clubs / country FAs around the world. I don’t think any of it really matters re country size / population. Vast majority of fans travel in anyway And talking about carbon footprint surely having a tournament in a single city / small country is better...

No I don’t think he is. But there’s obviously a reason why it doesn’t happen in his own profession, so curious as to why he thinks he can lecture others for the same thing

It’d be interesting to ask that brave campaigner Harry Kane why he thinks not a single gay player has been able to come out during the Premier League era. The law of averages says during his career alone he must have played alongside probably a few.

What Gary Neville said.

From the laws of the game. 5. Slogans, statements, images and advertising Equipment must not have any political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images. Players must not reveal undergarments that show political, religious, personal slogans, statements or images, or advertising...

Gary Neville’s idea was betterZ give it to a different member of coaching staff every game

Yeah where was this energy in Russia ? Or when it came out the £160 shirts the England players wear are made by workers earning 21p an hour in Bangladesh - I don’t think this was even challenged or commented on 🤷🏻‍♂️ If they really do believe in this then they need to stick it it and take any...

UEFA also banned poppys from England shirts. They’ll just get fined I guess

how’s Countryfile going then ?

The government boasted of UK . companies building stadiums in Qatar. Be interesting to know which ones ? https://www.gov.uk/government/news/british-firms-on-track-to-score-world-cup-deals-worth-15-billion

I think it’s more of a respect thing. Same reason it’s beef hot dogs than pork 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m just glad we are in an open society where I can sit in my seat at the Amex enjoying a beer as well It’ll cause issues for sure though. A lot of fans will stay drinking elsewhere and turn up to the stadium...

You could never drink at the stadium, it was just outside sold in tents. I guess the concern is the mixing with locals and alcohol. In normal life the locals can avoid alcohol by avoiding hotels / bars etc , but having it in front of them is obviously deemed a risk / inappropriate

I’m not sure many world cups have had England fans in the country 6 days before the tournaments starts to be fair

Yes and don’t forget before Ukraine Euros being warned about the nazi racist gangs and Sol Campbell going on the BBC telling us someone will be going home in a coffin https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-18192375.amp I was in Donetsk when this happened, very funny. Probably one of my favourite...

To be fair - Walker is already going into a World Cup injured , James isn’t fit either (not even on the bench yesterday) - how many non fit players do we want to take ?
