          We had drinks in one of the high profile hotels and there was a guy in a dishdash drinking pints chatting to a young woman in a short skirt. Said nothing at the time but when we were back in the safety of our friend's house she said he'd probably had a skinfull, was almost certainly going to drive himself home and if he crashed then the other party would possibly disappear. Dubai is about as entitled as you could imagine

            Most WCs these games would have been sold out long ago...
            The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

              Especially considering the capacity is only 19,300

                I imagine the atmosphere at most games will be like those of the recent MMA / Boxing events.

                ****ing awful.

                        So they will still be able to serve alcohol to those in the corporate boxes but not to regular fans? If the issue was being morally opposed to alcohol for religious reasons fair enough, you might not agree with it but you could respect that view, but the fact the rich and corporate supporters are afforded the 'privilege' of being able to drink but the regular fans can't sys everything about FIFA and this WC.

                                The whole scenario is sickening.
