INDIAN DRUMS, ARGENTINA FANS GREET MESSI’S ARRIVAL FOR WORLD CUP

Indian drums drowned out Argentina’s diehard fans as hundreds waited hours to get a glimpse of a bus carrying Lionel Messi outside his team base. The drummers and Indian beat dancers again showed how Qatar 2022 is going to be a different experience for players and visiting fans. Supporters from the subcontinent had outnumbered England fans when they greeted Harry Kane’s side on Tuesday. A crowd of more than 500 that had waited until nearly 4:00am to see the arrival of their heroes was split evenly between Argentina’s Indian fans and those from the South American country.
