No, I didn't see the huge number of buses because I parked my car at the Al Sadd athletics/football training ground, bang opposite the stadium. Anyways, I still feel the Qataris wouldn't give thobes to labourers. Even though you may not be aware of it, the Qataris ARE fiercely protective of their national dress. Anyways, since I didn't see any labourers dress up as Qataris, I will not argue upon that point further.

And as to the discipline matter, Lazaroni is the last word for it. If you were following the Qatar league for the last three years, you would've been aware of it. He helped Qatar Sports Club reach great heights during the time, through scrit measures. It was not for nothing he was chosen as the national coach.

Just give him a few months and see what he can do. Also check him up on Wikipedia. He's one of the most respected coaches in Brazil and the Qatar Football Federation is behind him. I think he has the most chances to change the Qatar team's mentality among all coaches in recnent times.
