Three Lions

Jules Rimet still gleaming...well it won't be for England. Thought I'd throw out that little spoiler straight away. We won't win the World Cup, no sir. (Or madam, you feminist bitch.) But that doesn't mean we can't enjoy it. I'm currently watching the first game of the tournament, Mexico vs South Africa to be specific. At the moment, the score is 0-0, though by the time I've finished this blog it'll be different. I'll inform you, don't worry. I was going to do this blog, then I forgot and started writing a guide to British newspapers. Silly me, but just so you know what's next week folks. I wanted to write this, in a similar strand to my Champion's League blog a few weeks back, to just make people aware why the World Cup is so great. Sure, we're not going to win. Sure, it'll be painful to watch us lose. But hey, it's the summer! Just enjoy it. Who knows, we might even get to the Semi-Final! And can you hear the noise at the moment? Of course not, you're probably not watching the game right now...and you can't later on when you read this. Messes with your head doesn't it? Seriously though, South Africa have opened the tournament, and by the amount of noise being made, you'd think it was the final! It's actually mental.


This blog isn't going to be vastly long. Partly because I am tired from my Philosophy exam today (which went ok, though I think I fucked up one of the questions, thanks for asking) and also because I want to go out and I need to get ready. Finally of course, there's not a lot to say. I will tell you I predict a Spain/Brazil final...that could be interesting. I think we could, if we play our very best, reach the Semis and I think so will the Netherlands. I want to share the song that is the title of this blog. It gives you false hope but I think for an event like this, hope is all you have. We know deep down that England won't win, but that does not mean we should give up on them. It's the only time when we seem to show our patriotism so let's do it in style dammit! 


 So here it is. The '98 version of the song as that was the year of the World Cup in France, who went on to win. It really is an classic song and I think for once this year...you should believe.

I wish I had more to say, but I don't. Regardless, the World Cup is one tournament that will bring football fans together, and I think almost anyone should try and enjoy it. I realise this sounds just like my Champion's League blog, but then I'm trying to make the same point ok? I'll have a lot more to share with you next week...promise :) I wish those reading luck on their exams (I have to assume it's only my friends who read this, who are currently doing A-Levels.) I only have one exam left, hahaha, that's right I'm a bastard. O, Mexico just scored! Wait, no, it was offside. (How up to date am I?!) 

I am going to cheat by sharing you what appears to be the official advert for this World Cup. I used to find it really annoying but now I think it's pretty cool and the music is good. The point is, there will be a better blog next week...and for now, good luck for the next few weeks (whoever you are) and...come on England.
