Qater 2022 – The Montage
A few more games including Canada v Croatia plus off road in a Land Cruiser, a camel ride and sand boarding on the dunes in the desert, then the Dubai crew coming over for the France game and that was it…
Qatar was an eye opener, that’s for sure… All in all a pretty decent World Cup, organisation was spot on (except a few shuttle bus drivers getting lost!).
Roll on Germany 2024.

England v Wales – a much better 2nd half
The negative Maguire to Stones to Pickford repeat story finally ended in the second half with Rashford and Foden finally getting on the front foot and then joined by Grealish and Wilson later on we actually showed some attacking strength.
A 3-0 win, top the group, 9 goals scored and onwards and upwards…. What were we worried about?
Everyone speculating about an England v France quarter final but Senegal will be no pushovers in our opinion – well organised and big, strong, powerful athletes.

Always going to be a different World Cup and being based in one city meant lots of football and lots of fans all in one place.

Match report to follow? Desperate, negative stuff from England after the 6-2 win v Iran. Tournament football though and we’ve probably done enough.
Onward….
