Enjoying the World Cup

I've been

I must apologise but what can I say? World Cup is on!!!


I knew ahead of the start of the competition that I'd have to watch quite a few matches as my job (since my son started watching World Cups) is record keeper. This time I thought I wouldn't need to watch as many as I used to as I could pick up the required information from the FIFA app.

The strange thing is I got caught up in the excitement right from the start! I'm team Brazil so had to watch the opening match and from then on I've been hooked! I've fallen asleep in a couple of the late night ones but otherwise you can say I've watched just about every game!

This World Cup has really surprised me. I didn't know that I would want to be watching the matches.  Not been forced to but putting it on even when I'm by myself. And it seems as if I'm not the only female that got caught out. Quite a few ladies I've talked to have been saying the same thing. The games have been so good that we haven't gotten bored!!!! And men, including the commentators, are all saying it's the best World Cup Ever!

The defending champions, for the first time ever, got knocked out the competition at the group stage. Teams that were meant to be walkovers have beaten would be favourites or at least made the favourites work for the win. The results have been so unpredictable that it's upped the level of excitement.

It's like I'm watching a soap opera with all the twist and turns and bites?! I'm anxiously waiting for the finale as I have no idea what the outcome will be as not even the professionals can't call it. But I am hoping and praying Brazil will be lifting the cup at the end as that would be my dream ending!!!!
