He said: 'Compared to where we were on Monday, this is a real trek. The people are friendly, really happy, can't do enough for you, I just think they weren't expecting the number of people to come.' He added: 'For us we've got no panic, we don't go home until eight o'clock tomorrow morning so, worst scenario, we'd have to get a taxi, but I just wonder about the logistics of it, is it such a great idea? 'But in general it's everything you need.' England and US supporters put tonight's rivalries aside to pose up for a pre-match photograph England fans ahead of the FIFA World Cup Group B match at the Al Bayt Stadium, Al Khor The clash at 7pm tonight will be highly contested and expectations for another England win England fans at the Al Bay Stadium for the England v USA match, Doha, Qatar FIFA World Cup Revealed: Harry Kane and other World Cup captains would not even have been allowed on the PITCH if they had worn OneLove armbands England captain Harry Kane and other World Cup captains would not even have been allowed on the football pitch if they had worn their OneLove armbands during the World Cup. England's football team had been planning to wear the LGBTQ+ armband along with six other European teams such as Germany and Denmark at the Qatar World Cup before the campaign was dropped when FIFA threatened to hand out yellow cards to players. And now, it has emerged that the sanctions would have been much harsher than first thought. The federations of England, Wales, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany and Denmark had said on Monday they had been put under pressure by FIFA, who had threatened to issue yellow cards to any player wearing the multi-coloured armband. Advertisement On whether England will follow Germany's lead and make a stand after Fifa prevented the use of rainbow-coloured armbands, Mr Noyce said: 'I think they'll bide their time and pick the game they're going to do it. Germany are playing Spain on Sunday, I think they'll wear the rainbow and if Germany do, I think England will follow.' Craig Carter, 51, and Richard Copper, 49, were among a group of four friends originally from England, and now living in Adelaide in Australia, who have travelled to watch 18 games in 10 days. They posed for a photo together outside the Al Bayt Stadium holding an England flag containing badges of their teams including Manchester United and Leeds United. The group noted security had appeared to have tightened since they first arrived, with Mr Carter pointing at the flag and saying: 'They think this is a political statement. 'They couldn't understand why we had different badges on, we've got Leeds, Villa, Man U and West Ham.' Mr Copper, originally from Birmingham, said: 'On the whole it's been brilliant. 'Despite a couple of buses, the way they've done the metro has been fantastic, the people are fantastic, we're staying on one of the cruise ships and that's brilliant, it's a mixed crowd on there, everybody is really friendly.' The group said the restrictions on alcohol sales had not been an issue for them given their busy schedule, adding the tournament had been 'better without it' and no trouble seen. Mr Copper said of England's chances on Friday against the USA: 'We're going to win.' All rights reserved for this news site (dailymail) and under his responsibility
