I would hope that somebody read my statement of intent, or non-intent, yesterday when it comes to mentioning from now on a team from Birmingham in the midst of a promotion battle. I am reminding myself more than anybody else. It will be quite easy for a couple of weeks with the much-maligned international break coming up next week. But it won't be easy trying to feign interest in non-competitive matches which are the reason for putting what matters on hold.
Therefore, rather than looking forward to matches between teams that are giving false hope to players that they may make the trip to Russia and other teams who are terribly embarrassed that they are not going to Russia and represent a country of depressed football fans, I will look back at happy World Cup memories for a while.
I've been doing this for over 900 days, plus the 365 days before Brazil 2014 so there may be some repeats. But they're still good.
What better place to start then the opening match of the first World Cup that I watched, and the first upset of that World Cup. And it is also fitting seeing as the very talented Belgium team are seen as contenders for ultimate victory in Russia.
Belgium 1 Argentina 0.
