You already know the story – the Qatari government generally forbids selling and drinking alcohol, and fans can buy beer only in a few restricted areas. Such a setup will inevitably lead to various incidents and strange misunderstandings. And the first ones to taste the feel of a strange, new world in the Arabic Peninsula were the two Everton fans. As the video published on Twitter shows, those two guys were looking for a pint and bumped into a little lion instead. But not just an ordinary lion – sheikh’s pet, actually.Two Everton fans in Qatar went looking for beers and ended up in a Sheikhs palace chilling with a lion. 🤣🇶🇦 pic.twitter.com/R17nDd3f0A— World Cup Updates (@wc22updates) November 21, 2022 In a TalkSport interview, two Blues opened up on the story of their unusual night that began with a ‘hunt for some beers’. The pair of supporters could be seen wearing unique shirts with both the England and Everton logos on.Speaking about the start of their trip to Qatar, the first said: “We’ve just been having a good time, having a mooch, getting our bearings right. The set-up is spot on. We’ve been enjoying ourselves.”Goal fest to kickstart group B – English allowed no surprise, Iran conceded three goals per halfThe second man added: “Last night, we met one of the sheikh’s sons. He took us back to the palace and showed us – he had lions and everything. They’ve made us so welcome. Look around you, it doesn’t get any better than this.”##NAJAVA_MECA_6824901##And the first fan chipped back in to explain further: “We were on a hunt for some beers. We jumped into the back of his Toyota Land Cruiser and ended up in a big palace. We were in the back. He showed us his monkeys, his exotic birds. It was nuts.”So, the moral of the story is – just never stop looking for a good beer, who knows which lion you’re going to bump at.
