Last weeks Friendly in DOHA
So we all watched the game last weekend, where Englands second string were given the run around by the Brazilians. It was an interesting spectacle played out in Doha, the capital of Qatar. Allot of people wonder why it was played there? Well the main reason is because we owe Brazil a friendly from when they helped us christen the marvelous new Wembley Stadium the other year. What I think is the most interesting thing about the game though is that the English FA received around £400,000 for the game as an appearance fee, whereas the Brazilians received in the region of £4,000,000!!! Now that is quite a difference. The game thought to be organised by a company called Kentaro who have had a vision and are making money from it. They are successfully parading the Brazilians around the globe to wherever they can get the best money. England were simply a part of this show, nothing more. Interesting.
