Thai's love English Premier League players.

Spot the local!

Well the myth about Thai people loving football and English Premiership football seems well and truly smashed.

Maybe they do, but on a beautiful clear evening maybe 5-10,000 were inside the 60,000 seater stadium.

And most were Australian and Omani.

Still it could have been worse.

Imagine if the storm had come through just before kick-off!

Who is responsible for this fiasco?

Don't know yet, but I'll find out.

At this stage I'm blaming it on the four country host scheme. One country hosting the tournament means fans from all countries come to a single country thus creating a wonderful atmosphere around the cities, and increasing interest from the local, and ensuring the Government really promote the tournament with energy and pride.

Next time, The AFC will get it right.

Let me know what you think.

Perhaps ticket prices were too expensive?
