We have today (22nd April) confirmed the closure of JackArmy.net on 31st May. Our reasons are varied but after a twenty-five year stint at the heart of the online Swansea City community, the time is right for us to bow out.

Brazil look the most likely winners but they always do , failure of outstanding individuals to play as a team and failure to handle the pressure have sunk them many times , having said that I will say Brazil or Belgium will win it

When we beat America the depth of my pockets will be the least of my worries.
I also arrive Sunday, around dinner time. Am staying at the Best Western “downtown” by the museum. I’m still trying to figure out if it’s easier to just head to the stadium or grab beers elsewhere beforehand. Have you found if there’s anywhere nearby?

We’re arriving with the Wonky Sheep crew, no idea yet where to head for beers before the match on Monday. The fan park sounds crap, standing around in unshaded tarmaced area paying £12 for a bottle of Bud. If you suss out somewhere come back here and will look forward to meeting up

FIFA confirm no alcohol allowed in World Cup stadiums.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63674631
Alcohol will not be sold at the World Cup's eight stadiums in Qatar after Fifa changed its policy two days before the start of the tournament.
Alcohol was set to be served "in select areas within stadiums", despite its sale being strictly controlled in the Muslim country.
Those in corporate areas of stadiums at the tournament will still be able to purchase alcohol.
The World Cup starts on Sunday when Qatar play Ecuador.
Budweiser, a major sponsor of Fifa, had exclusive rights to sell beer at the World Cup.
"Following discussions between host country authorities and Fifa, a decision has been made to focus the sale of alcoholic beverages on the Fifa fan festival, other fan destinations and licensed venues, removing sales points of beer from Qatar's Fifa World Cup 2022 stadium perimeters," said a statement from world football's governing body.
"There is no impact to the sale of Bud Zero which will remain available at all Qatar's World Cup stadiums.
"Host country authorities and Fifa will continue to ensure that the stadiums and surrounding areas provide an enjoyable, respectful and pleasant experience for all fans.
"The tournament organisers appreciate AB InBev's understanding and continuous support to our joint commitment to cater for everyone during the Fifa World Cup Qatar 2022."
The Football Supporters' Association (FSA) criticised the timing of the decision to ban the sale of beer for most fans.
"Some fans like a beer at a game and some don't, but the real issue is the last minute U-turn which speaks to a wider problem - the total lack of communication and clarity from the organising committee towards supporters," said an FSA spokesperson.
"If they can change their minds on this at a moment's notice, with no explanation, supporters will have understandable concerns about whether they will fulfil other promises relating to accommodation, transport or cultural issues."

Love the line that notes alcohol will still be available to the corporates in attendance.
It's almost as if those ruling the country (and football) give zero fucks about their religion really, as those with wealth will always be accommodated, while the plebs will be told exactly what they can and can't do.
It's yet more evidence that handing such a huge event to a country like Qatar was a mistake of epic proportions.
