What he said...... They only play decently if there is a fat wad of cash at the end of it. They don´t want to get hurt as that might jepordize their fat pay checks from the clubs

Wouldn't you have thought FIFA knew about the alcohol ban at stadiums before Brazil were awarded the tournament, and that, they would have sorted that right from the start rather than at this late date?

I agree totally. A nice outing with free food etc. Some of the swedes have the same attitude (the fabled Zlatan for one)

Now rather than have an independent Scotland perhaps we should have a fully intergrated country then the former Scotland and former England would get to the finals.

I'm off before I get strung up

I went to old trafford a couple of years back to watch a champions league match (sponsored by amstel), and they weren't selling alcohol during the match - you had to wait till half time. Crazy.
