Me too
You cant beat the world cup. I was around when England won the world cup in 66 I can remember but mainly the cartoon Lion "world cup willie" that promoted it then and to a child thats what was important.
To be honest nothing would be (as an adult) seeing my nation win the world cup it would surpass even Istanbul. I know lots of english people will say rubbish I prefer my club but I dont think you are being honest if England got to the final the whole country would grind to a halt. And I dont care what team you support or who you are you would be glued to that screen in the final.
Yes I know its unlikely but we can dream.
Great post, Stan. I think I know what you mean. I'll be cheering for the 3 Lions mostly because of the Red Men wearing the kit (Uruguay as well, just for Luis), but I'll also be cheering for the USA. The sport is becoming a lot more relevant in America, and a strong showing would do wonders for that. I'd love to see the US get to the final and watch the whole country get behind it.
he plays for United, is it not quite similar pressure?
