My earliest memories of the world cup was the 2002 tournament in Korea/Japan. I was 8 and no surprise Scotland did not qualify, so I was supporting anyone but England. The reason being was due to the rivalry between Scotland and England and it is funny to see England mess up when the press seem to consider them one of the favorites. The tournament started before we broke up for the summer holidays so I was watching games before school, due to the time difference with the far east. Before the tournament we did a sweeper with the class. You pick a team out of a hat and you get a prize if they win. I got Brazil...The rest is history.
Brazil won the tournament and the first day back after the summer I got a box of sweeties. (We were big time Primary school).
Now as I am writing this, the final group games of the 2014 edition are taking place this week. Everybody agrees that this has been already the best world cup in living memory. So many great games, goals, stadiums, fans and players. UNFORTUNATELY England are already out of the competition. Losing their first 2 games means they have not qualified for the first time since the 50's. The press haven't hyped them up as much yet they have been worse than ever.
I will update you all on the world cup when it is finished in 3 weeks time.
Cheers for now
