[Football] QATAR dangle the freebies - where would you stand ?

[beorhthelm]

As an aside, I do like World Cup tat and have been building up a collection of drink glasses over the years. I normally buy a couple for each tournament but, beyond football stickers, there’s absolutely no WC tat in the shops this year….nothing. There’s always a stall in the supermarkets selling all sorts of crap with the German flag on it and in previous years we’ve even had Jogi Löw’s Nivea grooming kit. But nought this time. Maybe it’s a Berlin thing?

What’s it like in England?

made a point to look today, wouldnt know there was a World Cup on. neither Asda or Tesco had any England tat, only a low key "ready for the game" banner with the beer and snacks. squeezed out by christmas fare.

I've only seen 1 (one) car proudly flying it's Cross of St George flags, to which I thought 'why's that then?'.

Members of the Fan Leader Network from two European countries said their payments had been cancelled three days ago and that authorities had blamed the decision on the bad press which followed the revelation that fans were being paid.
