Sixteen days! 16! It's 18 days until what I think should be named "world day of football", the only time in the first round of matches where four matches are being played on the same day. And they are going to be good ones.
6am (Toronto time): France-Australia, intriguing, could be very exciting, which France will show up?
9am: Argentina-Iceland: the most eagerly anticipated match of the first round for some, hipster heaven and football history.
Noon: Peru-Denmark: the enigmatic South Americans against the cool Danes.
3pm: Croatia-Nigeria: they could both be wonderfully exciting dark horses, they could both be terrible. It's exciting waiting to see which they are.
Saturday 16th June: not a day for gardening.
