@DanteTheDon Each nation receives around 650 tickets per game for around £65 each so the most loyal fans of each nation will have had access to those, like the top cappers from the England travel club who’ve accumulated loyalty points over the years

@supiebrian @StanCollymore 2021!

So could England and you'd have the added bonuses of..

The oldest football nation on earth with fans able to walk up to stadiums rather than being located 20 miles outside of the city in a former swamp. Walking past houses, cafes, pubs where you can feel the energy build.

Enjoy that pint and a sing song in a real pub in a real housing estate next to the stadium rather than 12 different concessions that all sell burgers at a mall/airport stadium concession centre.

Pricing that demands ALL fans can realistically attend rather than a cock waving wanker telling everyone he paid a million dollars for his ticket.

Communities that live a breathe the game instead of pretending they know what they're talking about for a month every 4 years.

Stadiums that are built for the game, generate noise rather than spaceship sized Disneylands that generate zero football atmosphere.

A chance for supporters to visit any one of 100 professional clubs stadiums in one small country, many within a 10 mile radius, where 150 year old rivalries have played out. You'll end up buying the shirt of a shitty club in a random town you've never heard of and it'll hit like crack for the rest of your life.

A travel experience by car or rail that could see you get to any ground from any other in 4, not 14 hours.

An opportunity to have jellied eels before going into the London stadium, jerk chicken or jollof rice at Arsenal , world class Balti pies at Villa Park or homemade top class pies at Anfield by @HomebakedBakery then sitting on the world famous Kop or beautiful new Everton stadium for a game.

Let the American mind boggle as St James's Park sits squarely in the City centre of Newcastle, not 20 miles out.

Stay in London and visit 15 or 16 professional clubs in one city.

Visit the @NFM_Shop and understand 150 years of English football culture, footballs and shirts that are half the age of your country, the world's most fascinating collection of football history.

Not everyone wants bigger, more expensive or corporate. Most fans across the globe proudly campaign for affordable pricing so that EVERYONE can enjoy and be a part of this sport.

I'll invite you to Spain and Portugal and Morocco , as my guest, for the next edition. Football cultures that from Seville to Barcelona to Bilbao to Marrakech to Lisbon to Porto to Vigo highlight difference in cultures, regions, cities and football experiences. A 24/7 living and breathing passion for the sport that unless experienced, cannot be fully comprehended or appreciated.

If you like big, corporate, burger concessioned, greed driven pricing, sure, America wins.

But if you want your mind blown, you'll go to a World Cup in Italy, Spain, England, Germany, Brazil, Argentina. I guarantee, even in jest, you'll realise how naive your comments are.

@nicola_ironside Put this in to 5 Georgios Olympiou St.,
Koukaki, Athens this is a great local restaurant in a local area it’s on a street full of bars that open until late. Head there bars open until 3 midweek .

[Christopher Rushton @RushyGRFC]

@henrywinter Well done Henry for highlighting the issues England fans and football fans in general are having to overcome at this tournament, the whole thing is a sh@tshow

[Christopher Rushton @RushyGRFC]

@adamsummerton Forgot all about that. It was brilliant.

[Christopher Rushton @RushyGRFC]

@StanCollymore Russia was unreal,
Great few weeks travelling around

[Christopher Rushton @RushyGRFC]

@henrywinter There will be quite a few who have gone and won’t be doing the World Cup at all. Great trip and 4 caps and tickets at £30 not the mad prices of the World Cup. Sounds like there’s loads of good places to eat & drink at reasonable prices without World Cup extravagance hitting.

[Dean Cornish @DeanCornish1966]

Over the last 20 or so years, so many have asked me why I’d bother following England away at football. I also get so many people asking me about the trips, the people, the places etc.
So to cut a long story short, I thought I’d write a book about it. Here it is. Delivered today.

@BCAFCBH @bowbrookshrew @Corinthians @gavioesoficial @corinthians_eng @NeoQuimicaArena @futbologybr @67_balti @TorcidaDoTimao @StadiumHoppers Thought I recognised it but was sure there was a top tier behind each goal.

[Jeff Stelling @JeffStelling]

Seriously that is never a handball at Fir Park. The boy headed it 20 yards. The ref takes one look after VAR calls him over. Embarrassing for Scottish football.

[Christopher Rushton @RushyGRFC]

@BCAFCBH Where else you going mate?

[Out of Context Football Manager @nocontextfm1]

Yesterday, Taylor Harwood-Bellis mocked Luke Ayling for his stammer.

Here’s a video of Ayling discussing what it’s like to live with a stammer and his journey.

Anyone who mocks him after watching a video like this should hang their head in shame.

[Christopher Rushton @RushyGRFC]

@BCAFCBH We stayed on Rua Augusta bit grimy but loads of ‘bars’ weirdly a Danish Bakery next to our hotel that served beer early doors which was ideal for match day

[Christopher Rushton @RushyGRFC]

@BCAFCBH Have a good one mate. Can’t believe you’re missing Thursday night

[Christopher Rushton @RushyGRFC]

@SerieA_EN This one although it was a bit wet
