A tendency people here have picked up - European teams have been outnumbered in the number of fans so far. Tunisia had much more fans then Denmark, Mexico had more fans then Poland and now Morocco have way more fans then Croatia. The TV crew was bombarded by Moroccans and was looking in front of the stadium for Croats to get their opinion before the match as well and could barely find any.

Because they said no LGBT in Qatar

it's normal right?  also being an out of europe organized world cup.

 

I was actually expecting some underperformance from european teams due to that and more of a south american world cup this time.

I think there are at least two explanations for that:

1. In Europe most people are used to have holidays in the summer, not in November-December when everybody is going to work and the companies don't allow free days in this period.

 

2. Tunisia, Morocco, Saudi Arabia are arabic nations and is somehow nomal to have more fans than other nations in Qatar. About Mexico, it is known that Mexican fans are very fanatic and hungry of football.

The real reason is : hotels in Qatar are expensive ...i visited this country i know what i am talking about

Much like the Dutch team is when playing a home game against Turkey or Morocco  

 

In terms of overall attention and such, this match right now could basically be the second Dutch game of the tournament

How are the TV audiences doing in your countries ?

 

Here, the first french game against Australia had almost the exact same figure than four years ago against the same team (12.53 M vs 12.59 M), but with a very time slot (monday at 20.00 vs saturday at 12.00), so hard to compare

No idea, The numbers will be known as always later here, but I guess quite high. The main competition would be certainly during the weekend Alpine Skiing womens races, but otherwise there not other stuff that can scare RTVS (our official broadcaster for the WC) to steal their watchers + it start to be super cold outdoor
