Malta-England: as my Dad sees it

Day -290 #WorldCup2018

I have this fumy story in my head which I keep repeating and adding to everyday. It's about what will happen when my Dad watches England play Malta on Friday and years of criticizing both countries' teams incessantly comes to a head. It's an amusing story in my head, as it always was to the rest of my family. But what happens on Friday: does it all balance out? As I see it England are in a no-win situation anyway in my Dad's eyes. Win, "well what do you expect, they're playing Malta who are as terrible as they were last time they played England in 1971". Draw or lose, "terrible England, all these years watching them and they are still not getting any better."

I'm going to stop making excuses about late nights and try writing it out soon. It might not be that funny. Stay tuned.
