I think Qatar will start stepping up football friendlies over the next few years to get a sample of what happens. The PSG vs Inter at Xmas last year was a stepping stone.

Having been to several major games, finals etc. It's a world away from anything we've experienced here. The drinking culture which goes with it will be difficult to handle. As will potentially sensitive matches, Russia vs Poland or England vs Germany for example.

I really hope we do our homework and the event passes off without a hitch.
