England 'fans' dressed as Crusaders complaining about Qatar police stopping them entering WC stadium.:love:
The crusader outfits at sports events have been around for a while and have always amused me. They seem to be based mainly on the Knights Templar. Any of this type of Crusader from England were part of the French speaking nobility and ruling class. Maybe a fancy dress depicting Saxon resistance to the Norman conquerors would be more appropriate. No idea how any outfit would be able to depict this. Mind you, the Saxons around that time were speaking a form of old German. Why not go back even further and dress as Celtic warriors resisting the Roman conquerors? They spoke a language that has similarities with Welsh.
The English do tend to have trouble understanding their own heritage.
