Princes William and Harry are not going to the World Cup this year. At least one of them has been at each of the World Cups in the last 16 years and a member of the Royal Family has been a fixture at the tournament for many, many years.
The reasons could be numerous including the strained relations between the UK and Russia right now, the fact that it is soon after Prince Harry gets married in May, or that Prince William's wife, the Duchess of Cambridge will be giving birth to their third child in April. But I think it's because they are so sick of England's embarrassing early exits and do not want to be on the receiving end of nay inane, polite banter anymore.
66,000 Icelandic people have made requests for World Cup tickets, or 20% of the population. There's going to be a lot of Viking clapping. Will it become more annoying than the vuvuzela in 2010?
P.s. In case you missed it, Toronto FC came back to beat Tigres 2-1 last night with an 89th minute backheel winner. The second leg in Mexico will not be easy.
