I can understand jamalx's sentiments regarding the patronage of the Emir Cup. But the same stigma for the AFC Asian Cup & 2022?
Well maybe just not. I was in Villagio earlier this evening, trying to contain my usual impatience lining up in a long queue at the AFC ticketing booth. Rewarding my "patience' were 5 Category 1 tickets for the Finals.
It made me smile. But what made me smile more then was the fact that I saw scores of Qataris being turned away as the Japan-Qatar QF match was sold out.
Perhaps they are making up for their apathy shown during the Emir Cup and making amends here.
Smiling coz the so-called apathy was non-evident.
Long live soccer! Wherever & whoever you are!
