"Many supporters who had left the stadium at the interval did not return, leaving the ground around half empty for much of the second period. It contributed to a flat atmosphere both off and on the pitch."
Music to my ears, I really hope this tournament is a disaster. Maybe the disillusioned Qatari 'fans' thought they could buy the results as easily as they bought the right to hold the World Cup.
