Booing him before the match even starts seems out of order. Sorry your (royal “your”) favorite club isn’t doing as well as you would like, but this is a totally different competition and your favorite club isn’t here.

Yes, sure. It’s just that the gentrification of football crowds is a thing now. Cracking on about “match day experience” people standing up, choice of cuisine (ffs), how big a bag you can bring, (who needs a bag ffs?) and soon it will be a polite ripple of applause as (insert favourite player here) bangs one in from 40 yards and an “Oh! I say!” when ( insert Trent Alexander here) kicks your favourite player up in the air for the fifteenth time in the first half without a card being shown.

This is an inevitable outgrowth of the increase in ticket prices. If you want the stadium full of actual fans, you do things the German way. As ticket prices increase, the stadium becomes increasingly full of people who are there to signal their importance through their ability to afford a ticket, rather than watch the game because they care about the outcome.
 
Feel Scotland/Wales/Ukraine got shafted there considering the lowest ranking they have is higher than the teams who leapfrog them into Pot 3.

Good old FIFA. 3 sides impacted by someone having a war.

All the “affordable” hotels, match tickets and flights will already be gone by the time the winning team qualifies.

You have to buy match tickets before you can book accommodation.

The Ozzie's will struggle Vs UAE and I think Peru will be too 'technical' for them.
Ukraine will be everybody's favourite Vs Scotland and Bale can't do it every time for Wales
NZ? shrugs...but I doubt it
