The World Cup
¶ 7:17 pm 
it has been 4 years since the last world cup and although my memories of the last one are a little blurred to me the world cup has always been a time of unity. People come together and a sense of pride develops, flags are up and banners are made. It is impossible to walk down a street without passing a car with a flag flying by its side or a bedroom window displaying a flag. i've noticed that football plays a HUGE role in English life. The chants and songs that are made up aren't exactly the best but you can't help but sing along. It's truely fascinating.
A lot of people have recently been saying that there are more important things in life than the world cup and that people are more interested in it than what's going on in Iraq, Palestine and the rest of the world. I completely agree but who said we can't enjoy our selves and still be up to date with the events happening around us. There are those that take it to another level. I'm talking about people who live, breathe and eat football (not literally ;)).. I think that there are limits to the world cup spirit ... it's just another pleasure in life..like eating ice cream!
anyways i'm off to watch the England v Sweden match
it's coming home, it's coming home, footballs coming home!!
COME ON ENGLAND!!!
