Pattaya police found Gretar Valdearsson, 38, a Briton, laid bleeding from his head on a pedestrian path in Chon Buri's Bang Lamung district on Friday at about 2.30am. He was then rushed to a nearby hospital. A Spanish tourist, Nicolas Marsei, 19, told police that Valdearsson was drinking in a bar where a broadcast of previous World Cups was being aired. Two Britons drinking in the bar claimed that England would win the upcoming tournament and that Australia would definitely be knocked out in the first round.
