The Sunday before February 26th.

Day -843. WorldCup2018


Sunday funnies and Sunday memories. Tomorrow I get back to my attempts to have an exit poll of sorts for Friday's big Fifa election. There are 209 Fifa member associations and the majority of them enjoy the secrecy of not giving away who they may vote for. They may also be waiting to see what may come their way, depending on who they promise to vote for.

(At the moment there are 207 voting members, as Kuwait and Indonesia are still serving Fifa suspensions for government interference in the running of their national associations, but these suspensions are going to be reviewed on the day of the election).

So before all that happens here's a look back at happy World Cup times. This was World Cup '94, Brazil-Holland in the quarter finals. The first half was, as I remember, not very memorable. The second half was exactly what was expected from a match between 2 entertaining teams, always favourites to win the World Cup. Bebeto, Romario, Bergkamp, 5 goals in the second half and a Branco special to win it.
