I may go M.I.A

By the time you read this, I will already have been up watching my first game for the World Cup. While not a regular soccer fan, I love the festival of football that comes around every four years. I try to watch at least part of each game, I traipse across town in the wee small hours to join like minded audiences and soak up the atmosphere. I've drawn the sweep, I've placed my tips (with scores) on every match of the first round (and surprisingly, have Argentina winning overall - you heard it here first).

I love the cocoon that you go into, where all you think and want to talk about is the last few games you watched...you will see me tracking down the men at the kids parties, trying to see who is interested and wants to talk World Cup (sexist I know, but that's usually how it is).

So, I give you fair warning - if I miss a post here or there, or if I seem even more pointless than usually, you know why...

And I have been lamenting the absence of a number of now retired greats - for those that have lived under a rock, this is still the best sports ad ever (note they are not sponsors of the World Cup, just very sneaky geniuses!)



So who's ready for the footdance?

Linking up with Thankful Thursdays because I'm thankful that it's finally here again, With some Grace for FYBF and lastly with Things I Know because I know that my heart will be broken when a number of teams fail to go through....
