I'm sorry to bring up old posts where I had contentious issues (as in I'm not sorry at all) but this thread proves to me that the internet is NOT nationless. Or nationfree. Or regardless of nationality. Not making my point three times, just trying out phrases
The
World Cup is just that. It's the Greatest Show on Earth. Wait, isn't that the Olympics? No! Because teams can get knocked out of the World Cup on the result of one single game. A whole country wins or loses on a single goal.
Not American bashing (being a bit snarky maybe) but pointing out that much of the civilised world will embrace the coming competition. The fact it has less attention on the Cellar than a single American Football team ... I'm not complaining, I'm just storing up evidence.
Back on track; I walk out into the Close and all the parked cars have St George's Cross flags in their windows. The one exception would be the 'rents, but they're away now, houresitting in super-posh-village and will be home for two days before going on hols to Spain. Mum has an England hat, and both have England t-shirts though.
A number of houses have the St George Cross in their windows. I'm sure this will increase as we count down (less than two weeks!) The supermarkets and convenience stores are doing a crazy trade, and fast food outlets are themeing.
So here is me ready for the World Cup. And yes I will be following it closely. And yes I would be SO happy to have other Dwellars I can discuss this with. Excuse the hat. But... it has sequins!
