No thanks for me, Milly?

I could be saving you from a wasted life, a life of hollow-eyed, black-rimmed addiction to small pleasures, to the vicarious thrill of 'your' team scoring a goal, to hoping that Man. U. get beaten!!

But seriously, I was only jo'ken - I occasionally watch some footie, but there IS more available here than in blighty.

I'm sure you'll enjoy - esp. if watching in one of our raucous sports bars!

Best,

SS

every ruddy minute,

of every ruddy game,

and every ruddy goal played over a million times:

you'll see more footie on telly here than you do at home!

And that will drive you in to the willing, waiting arms of Qatar Loving.

There are also some sports bars in the hotels so you can have a beer with the game.

Qatar is a sports loving country.

Football is considered a national sport and there are tons of celebrity players from around the world that play for different clubs in Qatar.

I think it's safe to say that you'll get what you want.

Some channels play premier matches for FREE too.

If you wanted, you could also get a satellite dish and watch whatever you wanted.
