To The Visiting England Fans

Hello fellow Englishmen, I owe you an apology. I was dreading so many England fans visiting Doha, drunk and violent people were the reason I left England. Well, I stand corrected. First, the stadium looked fantastic, the flags, the shirts and the atmosphere you created was brilliant. Second, I didn't see any of the England fans whistling during the minutes silence. Third, The endless stream of wandering, smoking chatterboxes were not you, nor were you the parents encouraging their children to boo at the other team.
Before you all start crying and saying that I am pointing the finger at Brazil fans, I am not. The expats from both Brazil and elsewhere including England were just as smokey, wandery and chattery. But the proper, organised England group who were behind the goal made the game worth being at. Just a shame we didn't win.

I agree on that Jasmine. They were totally into the match and its evident when that particular section refused to continue the Brazilian wave.

Perhaps the new coach with the rest of players can be the much need luck for the World cup ahead. Hope for the best.
