I suppose it’s fair to say that I’m not that much of a football guy. I think I’ve written on here before about how I’m more into cricket, and watching long, slow matches on warm summer afternoons. However, I defy anyone not to be caught up in the current excitement of the world cup. I have, of course, been watching England’s matches in Qatar, and although I’m no pundit, it actually looks like they’re in quite good form: a lot of people are saying, albeit slightly cautiously, that this could be the year that England’s mens football team actually win something. I’m thus as excited as anyone about tonight’s game against France. No doubt it’ll be tight and nail-biting, but we might just do it. I better not go so far as to predict a score, but you’ll probably be reading my reaction to the result – euphoria or fury – here tomorrow. Come on England!
