England superfans watch 15 games in 14 days at all World Cup stadiums in Qatar

Two England superfans are predicting victory tomorrow– after watching 15 games in 14 days in all eight stadiums.

Neal Weekes and Fil Sollof will be roaring on Harry Kane and his team against Senegal before flying home at 7.40am on Monday.

They are returning on Friday for next Saturday’s quarter final if England win tonight.

Former non-league football players Neal, 57, an auctioneer, from Greenwich, South East London, and pal property services owner Fil, 57, from Loughton, Essex, are at their sixth World Cup together.

Neal said: “We’ve now done 15 games in 14 days and have been to every stadium. It’s been an amazing tournament. We’ve really enjoyed it and it’s been a once in a lifetime experience. Now we’ve just got to beat Senegal.”

Fil said: “We’ve been really impressed with the organisation.

“But why are all the late games at Al Bayt – the furthest away stadium?

“It’s like getting a shuttle bus from London to Bishop’s Stortford – it’s miles away!”

He added: “I’ve hardly seen any Senegal fans. I think the stadium is going to be all England.”

The fanatical football fans have also been to all 92 English league grounds.

They are both flying home after the game on BA flight 7003. But they will be hoping it is only be a flying visit and they return Friday.
