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.
That's a cracker.
