Aye, a lot better than no football at all.
One funny thing though. Many people, when they live outside their homeland, become somewhat more patriotic. I even bought a St George's Cross postcard today for my wall at work. Wanton extravagance, I know.

I can't stand the fact that it draws all the cunts who know fuck all about football following the game all of the sudden. I LOVE chinwag with proper football people but I can't fucking stand talking to people who take interest in the game once in every four years. Most people know that I'm a football man and come to talk about making stupid fucking questions like "who you'll be supporting". Well I don't support any fucking body. Finland's not in the competition. I can't stand cunts who walk around in Brazil shirts. In fact, I refuse to speak to anyone wearing a fucking Brazil or Spain shirt. Cunts.
I read some cunt saying that World Cup is "celebration of football". Well it fucking well isn't. It's a marketing operation first and foremost. When I freeze my bollocks off in lower league game in late october with handfull of people, I'm celebrating football. When I yet again spend money I don't have on getting to watch City I'm celebrating football. Any person anywhere in the world spending last of their hard earned on season ticket are celebrating the football. People who miss their missus' birthdays to get to a shit 0-0 draw are celebrating the football. Bunch of cunts sitting in front of telly for second half of World Cup final (say Spain - France) wearing Brazil shirt are NOT celebrating football. They are just cunts. People wearing "funny" glasses and hats and blowing horns for 90 minutes whilst mostly watching people around them rather than what's happening on the pitch are NOT celebrating football. They are just cunts.
That's my opinnion anyway.

I dare say you'd be more interested if Finland were there. I get where you're coming from, but there are so many things I like about the WC. It's a great showcase for the different footballing styles (e.g. Italy's patience, Brazil's fluidity and incisiveness, England's tempo and physicality). It's also the pinnacle of the career of any serious pro. It gives some players a once-in-a-lifetime chance to shine on a world stage, and a country like Senegal the chance to revel in dumping out an old colonial powerhouse like France. I like it. It doesn't really bear comparison with watching City as it's a completely different experience, and it's a million miles away from watching Rochdale in teh Johnstone's Paint Trophy on a wet Tuesday in November.
P.S. I own the Spain 2002 World Cup shirt!

It does my head in that we're not there, but I'll be rooting for Argentina again. I know Maradonna's a lunatic, but they've always been my second international team and its nice to have someone to support.
Saying you hate it but you're going to watch 90% of it is a bit mad, no? There's little chance you'd get me to watch the "vast majority" of neighbours if there was a marathon of it on. I fucking hate that show.

"Hate" being very relative term here. I "hate" it compared to most club football but "love" it compared to almost anything else on telly.

Point being that who cares about people who normally prefer Rugby??
