I feel like I am limping towards the one year to go mark. I want this to be fun, funny, occasionally controversial. I want you, whoever is reading it, to laugh and maybe be informed. I want to help myself discover why I look forward to every World Cup so much but at the same time my excitement is in conflict with all the crap that goes along with Fifa. I am dismayed by talk of the Syria miracle, yet I love the story of the underdog. I sometimes find myself ignoring the politics because I am a romantic who wants to believe that the World Cup is all about the joy of the game.
I hear what people, my friends, say about the filthy corruption in football, in Fifa, yet I want to believe there is good. Ultimately, I want to believe that it is all about the 11 vs. 11 on the pitch. And despite everything, I do still believe football is a happy thing, with it's passion and ability to provide the unexpected result.
So I will limp on. I will pick up steam. And I will answer my questions as I do.
