London - For British soldiers in the Oman desert, it's no contest: soccer beats pop.
Former Spice Girl, Geri Halliwell, was due to give a concert to 10,000 troops in Oman for military exercises next month. That was until organisers realised the concert clashed with England's World Cup qualifier against Greece on October 6th. Now a giant TV screen is being erected at their base and the Geri show has been delayed two hours.
