BIG SOCCER MATCH




Al Waab Street, Doha, Qatar
Caught these scenes driving home from the grocery store the other night. Apparently a big soccer match later that evening at the stadium near our house. (Qatar is full of large, elaborate, expensive, sports stadiums. The Qataris like to watch sports and sponsor lots of events here - not sure how much they play themselves.) These young men were apparently fans on their way to the match. They were weaving all over the road. If they saw me taking pictures they didn't care. Anyway, about 9:30 that evening I was in bed reading and heard what sounded like WWIII going on outside - fireworks over the stadium.
