DOHA : England fans at their first match mostly gave the Qatar World Cup a thumbs-up on Monday despite the ban on alcohol in the stadiums and continuing criticism from advocacy groups over human rights issues.
"Getting to the ground is easy enough. Every different fan from around the world is here. It is great to catch up with everybody and the sun is shining." "I have been to 11 tournaments and I have never had a drink inside the ground," he said."You can't have a drink inside the ground in England, it is illegal."
England fan Samuel Mott, who lives in Qatar, said he thought the criticism of the awarding of the tournament to the gas-rich nation were a little unfair.
