    Can't help thinking though, that if any boycotting was going to happen, then right back at the start when the venue was announced, was the only time to do it. 
    Three or four of the top teams pull out then, say we're not going. We're not even going to play the qualification games, then it may well have been moved .

    It does jump about a tad, but I suspect all will come clear before you finish the show. It seems to be the current vogue amongst filmmakers and editors to present their stories in a non-linear fashion and in this case, it does sort of make sense once they've revealed the story in it's entirety. It's a twist that explains Cornelia's actions and state of mind, but I'll not say more! 
    BTW, it's not thick not to find this challenging occasionally as we all process information differently - I've only very recently been made aware that I am slightly dyslexic! ?

    The English is very well made, and beautiful to look at. I've seen the first four, and got totally baffled by the timeline in episode 4, in relation to what I'd already seen. I even re watched the episode, but it didn't help much! Maybe when I watch five and six, it'll all make sense. I am pretty thick though ?

    That's always the way it looked in my youth of the 70s and 80s.
    England in Mexico 86 and Spain 82 didn't typically fill grounds for group matches and in fact typically only the host nations group games sold out like Argentina 78.

    My only direct experience was Ecuador v Costa Rica in Hamburg 2006. Full stadium, with mostly neutrals - the locals and people like my friends and I, who just wanted to experience a bit of a world cup. I assume this is kind of typical at world cups.
    I'm interested to see if that mixture of local interest and general curiosity is present in this world cup.

    There are a lot of British expats in that part of the world but how many of them will bother going though I don't know. I guess we'll find out. This is one of the problems you have when you're hosting a world tournament inside a country with 3 million residents and 300,000 citizens. There are simply not likely to be enough people to fill the stadiums for the games. There are already rumours circulating that the regime are having to pay people to attend games or pretend to support certain teams in a desperate bid to create an 'atmosphere'.

    Taken from the BBC
    How many fans are going?
    About 3,000 to 4,000 England fans are expected to travel to Qatar for the group stages, with numbers set to increase should Gareth Southgate's side reach the knockout stages.
    An estimated 2,000 to 3,000 supporters will fly out to follow Wales, who are playing in their first World Cup since 1958.
    Ashley Brown, the Football Supporters' Association head of supporter engagement, says the "big unknown" is the number of British expats, with "more than 20,000 British passport holders in Qatar and probably over 100,000 overall in the region".
    Brown says England fans are not travelling in the same numbers as previous tournaments because of the costs involved, while the timing of the World Cup - outside of the usual summer school holidays - will "impact the ability of families to attend".
    "For a lot of people Qatar doesn't sound like an exciting place to go, it's not a typical holiday destination, lack of alcohol availability, cost of getting there, cost when you're there, it's put a lot of people off," added Brown. "The cost of living absolutely plays a part in that."
    Paul Corkrey, of the Football Supporters' Association Cymru added: "We took 50,000 to the 2016 Euros in France so the response has been muted mainly because of the location and time of year it is being played."
    As for half empty stadiums
    If reports are correct people are/will be paid or asked/told to turn up, Qatar/FIFA will not want the world to see Stadia not full as this will be bad for both Qatar/FIFA, So I guess just wait and see ?‍♀️

    I wasn't going to bother with this, but have read some of the reviews on IMDb. Some of the top ones, and some of the ones that give it 1/10. 
    Based simply on how horrendous those poor ones make this sound, I'm going to try watching it ?

    No. No need for any police to be involved at all once there's no risk of them falling. Just leave them there.

    In the case of resales, they'll always be an official site for resales, who will offer the same protections you'd expect when buying new, and should never offer tickets above face value.
