Did you hear about the seismic celebrations in Peru after the national team qualified for their first World Cup since 1982? Really. The fans' joy caused an earthquake detector to show activity. I would be seismically happy if my country made it to the World Cup. At this point I'd be happy if my country won a World Cup qualifying match. Just one.
Here's an example of sub-conscious mental associations (this happened today as I thought of Peru in 1982): I was fascinated by Peru so many years ago and loved their white shirts with the red sash; Crystal Palace wore a shirt with a red sash in the past; in the early eighties when Palace were the fun team Terry Venables was the manager; Venables went on to manage England; doubts surrounded Venables' suitability as manager because of some questionable business dealings; England were a lot of fun to watch with Venables as coach; then Venables was gone. I never really understood what happened to Venables. Was he sacked? Did he resign?
I miss Terry Venables. Can he manage Peru?
