Qatar is not so bad at all. Bit of a surprise at first. However it will be a sensational World Cup. The stadia and accommodation are ample and provided well in advance. Qatari are very moderate and European centric. They play a pivotal role in the oil economy however their banks employ millions of Arabs in construction.
The island is attractive and small so fans can get to all games. They are primarily Muslim but with the broader issues of ISIS types emerging from Syria and Libya since the announcement of the Qatar World Cup, this will be a positive chapter in an otherwise desolate decade for the Arab and Muslim world. |  | | |

There's nothing wrong with those guys dressing as Crusaders. One of the English Kings was a famous Crusader king called Richard the Lionheart. Jerusalem was Jewish, and then Christian for hundreds of years before being conquered by Muslim armies. [Post edited 13 Jul 2018 19:53]

Going abroad dressed as a an army that went abroad and killed hundreds of thousands of people based on religion is, at best, tacky. At best. Imagine the uproar if the Germans went to a world cup dressed in historic army uniforms. | | | |

They are dressed as the Knights Templar, who were from all over Christian Europe, but were mostly French. They were religious zealot warriors with their own military, not tied to any state. Basically a medieval Christian version of ISIS. To somehow equate this to the England football team is very weird.
I think the thought process went as far as “it’s got a Red Cross on it so must be English”.
By the way, Richard the Lionheart, that epitome of Englishness, spoke only one language, which was French! |  | | |

Bit different though isn’t it?
I can’t remember a time in history when leeks declared holy war on other vegetables. Or any massacres committed by daffodils, or any other flora for that matter.
The point isn’t that they look silly, (which they do), it’s that the crusades are in no way a uniquely English thing, (most crusaders were not English) or is it a period of history that any civilised society should be particularly proud of.
Not that I condone dressing up as any vegetables for patriotic reasons in the first place. | | | |

Why so nasty to the English dressing up , let them have their fun, crap on the field crap off it? Where in England was St George born by the way oh yes Syria or Turkey according to Wiki?
No time for daffodils and leeks at rugby matches either just plays into the English idea of the stereotypical Welsh rugby fan . |  |

Leeks and daffodils are our national symbols - Knights Templar have little to do with England.
The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon (or Suliman depending on the date of what was probably a fictitious king of a porto-urbanised, monotheistic nomads) were little more than a murder gang of heretic Catholics who fought with other Christians nearly as much as the Muslim forces and got their arses kicked by Saladin.
They are more likely to be invoking the spirit of King Richard Coeur de Lion (a common title for many French kings) or Richard de Poitevin (as he grew up with his mother in Poitiers) who occasionally allied himself with the Templar. A French king of England who never learned to speak the language spent less than 6 months in England as king, considered Aquitaine to be more important then England, which he hated, was a bit of a mummy's boy, gay and gave the throne over to John to raise taxes to pay for his exploits.
I'm far more proud to be a daffodil or a leek. | |
