No, but it is still an opinion, is it not? What makes you think he has been there as well? By the way, I should probably say that although I haven't been to South Africa or Brazil, I have been to Qatar.
People who don't feel safe at football matches here without heavy policing (and we actually have fans at City who don't)would be wetting themselves anywhere in Russia. It wasn't a pleasant place when it was communist and it isn't any better now.
But there are people out there who would disagree. Which means it is an opinion. Why can't people work this out?
I'm just looking forward to the next tournament hosted by a country that will take it as seriously as Germany did. Hopefully France will in the Euros.
This is one of life's great struggles. I swear people don't understand the concept of opinion in cases where you can be right and wrong. Example; England's football team is **** - Opinion. England's home kit is white - Fact.
It made me laugh when I saw a debate about Brazil being a "**** country" being "fact, not opinion" on the first page. So I skipped to the last page thinking that there's no way that argument kept going for 5 pages. But what do you know.
It's all fitting into place now. Didn't John Beck get a job as a head coach in the FA not so long back? It's bordering on genius.
Ready made excuse for Roy... 4/6 fav The pitch was crap.. 2/1 It was too humid 5/2 Wayne's homesick 5/1 Steve Gerrard had a dicky tummy 10/1 The ball was too lively 15/1 The boys couldn't get to the pace 25/1 We're ****.. and we know we are
It's going to be like FIFA Street, where England is that kid who doesn't know how to do any of the tricks.
