"This is what £185 a night gets you in the Qatar World Cup fan village," an England fan wrote on TikTok. Two contractors who had been staying in the village told journalists it had been "hell" staying in the area."It has been hell. The aircon in the cabin barely works and sounds like a is taking off. Even if you have it on all the time during the day it is still 27C. You can’t have it on at night because it is so noisy," one contractor said."We have been here for 10 days and it is a nightmare.
Speaking at Germany's first news conference in Qatar ahead of the World Cup, Mr Neuendorf said he was particularly annoyed by FIFA President Gianni Infantino's letter two weeks ago urging teams to "focus on the football" and leave political issues aside."That the topic of human rights should now no longer play a role, that we are now concentrating here on football only, that irritated us to a certain extent and disturbed us," Mr Neuendorf said.
