Live football for everyone, not just Sky and BT square-eyes to watch. Players of 32 nationalities. Some of the best players in the world. You get Argentina, Brazil, Germany and Spain, but there's Costa Rica and Egypt too.
Okay there's nothing as miraculous watching Preston marooned mid-table, or Chesterfield heading out of the League and into whole different perspective on the pyramid from Mo Salah. But there's no Sepp Blatter and after Russia n'Qatar the whole thing might even take place in a realistic venue. Eventually an African nation might realistcally compete, soon someone will take advantage of Germany's lack of a forward, and who knows the Spanish might stop looking after the ball and essay a random effort on goal ........
Stop being such a curmudgeon, get pissed in your armchair. Buy some Salcombe Gin. This has to be better then Poldark or Keith Lemon. Maybe Japan won't be incredibly boring this time round, maybe Messi won't funk it and Ronaldo will keep his shirt on. Maybe Dele Alli will rip the whole place up. Maybe Uruguay will show their skill and attack, maybe the French will roll more than their r's. Maybe Germany will be disorganised. Maybe Jack Butland will turn into a goalkeeper.
What's the alternative? A re-run of a re-run of a celebrity edition of Pointless in which you still only recognise three of the celebrities despite having seen it twice before.
Celebrate! It's miles better than Brexit. At least we don't have to ask Mrs May what it means!
