Read that Argentina and Brazil also quite popular over there (India etc). Yes there is a lot wrong with this World Cup but listening to some of our journalists who have spent time with these fans it would appear that they are genuine PL supporters and by default gravitate towards supporting England. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretSam Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 Based on last night's performance, Qatar are going to get absolutely annihilated by the Dutch. But I suspect they had first night nerves. On the question of attendances, bear in mind that Qatar and the Middle East in general has a huge - I mean huge - population of Western immigrants ("ex-pats"): only 15% of Qatar's population is indigenous*, IIRC from the little time I spent there. The major infrastructure, professions, etc are all entirely run by foreigners. *Whilst there (admittedly 10 years ago), I met the (Australian) head of their population and demographic analysis - he said the locals were really keen to try to develop home-grown talent, as their natural resources (mostly gas, contrary to popular opinion) will run out soon. So they need to be more self-sufficient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it’s weird that fans/media are having a Saka/Foden debate when they are 2 different players. It should be Sterling or Mount that Foden competes with and he’s better than both of them. Southgate for you though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How have you found it early on? Yes, I was on board the MSC World Europa for 2 nights, but am downgrading for the USA and Wales games. It has been great so far. Fans from all parts of the world are staying on the two ships. Absolutely loads have travelled from Argentina, Mexico and the US. Plenty of Welsh too. Haven’t seen any German fans yet but am sure they’ll be arriving soon. There’s a microbrewery on the ship and a (very decent) pint is €12.50. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality it's Sterling v Rashford on one side and the others competing for a place on the other side.They're the only ones who will run in behind Kane and pose a consistent threat. Grealish, Mount, Foden, Saka all want ball to feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the area that could really let us down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer to see Foden, but that's probably because I just watching the lad play, rather than how much more effective he is. I see a few people mention Maddison and he is another that's easy to watch, but unfortunately Southgate said he wasn't fit enough yet in yesterday's interview.

Just a pity for the corrupt officials that Qatar are soooo bad that they can't even cheat their way through. All about ££££ where Qatar are concerned and I hope they get totally humiliated in their 2 final group games. He may be right on most levels, but the goal was rightly disallowed. Let’s not let thoughts about Qatar in general cloud our judgement of every decision! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally think if he’s brave we have every chance of doing well again this tournament. Take Sterling out for either Saka or Maddison & get Walker back in (maybe at the expense of Shaw & play Trippier LB) it’s our best team Maddison and Walker are both injured, Saka’ in the team (according to reports) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
