There is very well beer and liquor in Qatar, not even a little. Out and about in pubs and on the fan mile, visiting alcohol adulterators and in the only drinks market with shelves full of alcohol – for the super-rich.
How much longer? He’s thirsty now. Damn, he’s been thirsty all day. He’s thirsty since he arrived in Doha, not for ayran or water, not for mint tea or cola, he’s had enough of those already. Jordan Gallagher cranes his neck even though he doesn’t actually have one – his head sits squarely on his body. Gallagher, behemoth of a man, born and raised from Birmingham, waits for the beer stand to open at the fan festival. Gallagher wears England’s 1996 dull gray national jersey and shouts, “This is bollocks!” Do the Qataris only want to release the beer at kick-off? That’s exactly what they want.
