The sheer number of tents/bars/stadiums that have been built for the World Cup in Dubai is staggering! Tonight I will go to the Barasti Stadium--a giant soccer ball dome built on the beach in the marina.
This mammoth tent reaches more than five storeys high. And with a capacity of 1,200 people, it’ll be plenty big enough to show the England game on the main screen and the US game on a small corner screen. That is what happens then the English expats outnumber you by 10X. The English pining for the US to lose, and of course the number of Arabs pulling for their only team in the Cup to win, means it should be a very interesting match.
(Got threw that entire post without ever saying futbol--whew!)
