'We feel much safer here'

Qatar has a low crime rate, so being pickpocketed or mugged in the street is unlikely. But security has been heavily bumped up for the tournament, with plenty of police officers patrolling the metro and stadiums.
Japan supporter Take said he felt "much safer here" than in Brazil eight years ago.
"You had to check your bags everywhere you went," he said as he reflected on his experience in 2014. "Here, nothing."
England fan Mike said: "This is a World Cup like no other - it is so different, but it has been brilliant. I went to the fan festival and there were so many fans around enjoying the occasion.
"Obviously you don't have the drinking, and there hasn't been any trouble. It all feels so safe."
Another England fan, Holly, added: "There were concerns about coming, but I have really enjoyed it. It is a very different atmosphere to what we are used to at football in England.
"There being no drink and no large groups of fans has made it a bit of a carnival atmosphere. I haven't seen lots of European fans about, but the South Americans have more than made up for that."
