Given we’re 40-odd minutes away from the England kick off, a few hours away from the Welsh kick off, and a day into the tournament, I imagine there will be the odd comment here or there about what’s going on, so thought a thread might be useful.
Also, given evening games are kicking off at 7pm, it might cause more than a few absences among the particularly keen footballing fans among our cadets.
This can also be a place to bash FIFA and their decision making should that tickle your pickle.
And while we’re on the topic of Qatar, worth remembering the RAF has very cordial relations with them including a couple of joint squadrons based in the UK…
12 Squadron are out there augmenting the air defence plus there is at least one Voyager providing AAR capability, flying yesterday for the opening ceremony.
While a fan of England, I’m not a fan of England fans (especially after a particularly bad trip to Porto), but I must admit I can get behind them singing Hey Jude.
Would have liked to see us stop the penalty though to provide some confidence going into the inevitable shootout we seem to arrive in at most competitions!
