The fact it only comes every four years means that you can really connect it with how work and relationships are going. <br /><br />I thought this article was brilliant, a fantastic read from start to finish. It's great for me personally to get a different view of World Cups I never saw. Thje first of my World Cups was 1994, a latecomer by your terms! <br /><br />Football can bring people together, have them laughing, and it can somehow cheer us all up even when England are woeful. Be interesting to see what memories this current World Cup will invoke.P Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650946223880426583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27676150.post-76752161914305012402010-07-11T10:33:54.164+01:002010-07-11T10:33:54.164+01:00Thanks Capt...

Fingers crossed indeed mate.<br /><br />Interesting we both had our 'first' World Cups in our last year at primary school, though for me it was what roped me into football, having only ever watched the 86 FA Cup Final beforehand, hence why it's still such a significance in my life :)<br /><br />Again, love the post and once again having all those WC memories brought back to life.Rich J (Sofa Soccer)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14957094755620065246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27676150.post-15207428593577524682010-07-09T23:31:23.311+01:002010-07-09T23:31:23.311+01:00I have obviously missed something Chris (and I apo...I have obviously missed something Chris (and I apologise for the lack of diligence).<br /><br />You are going?<br /><br />I may not always have commented but I have enjoyed the blog immensely since I found you in 2006.<br /><br />Good luck with whatever you do to replace SPAOTP.flicktokicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27676150.post-23073499069946544422010-07-09T15:50:40.307+01:002010-07-09T15:50:40.307+01:00Genius final FLOLONC!!!
