double quotation markThe last few days have been a strange mix of emotions, led largely by bouts of stomach cramps out of nervousness and anticipation, but mitigated by the realisation that this World Cup has completely re-contextualised the phrase âI donât have a girlfriend.â
Far from bobbling aimlessly between Fifa x White Castle hydration breaks like some broken, forgotten buoy, the steady procession of 140 quarters of football per day has given me a sense of direction and purpose: no romance to distract me; no âAre you going to watch the football all day again?â looks of disapproval; just pure, uninterrupted freedom to enjoy the World Cup as a middle-aged man(child).
Thatâs why Iâm feeling nothing but white-hot anticipation for this tie. Thereâs no need to be afraid: this World Cup is almost the stuff Socceroos dreams are made of, with friendly time zones, favourable draws and clean sheets abound.
Popovic and his players might as well cast off the shackles at some point tonight, because thereâs nothing to lose and everything to win. Be positive, donât hesitate and when the opportunity comes, make sure you are as clinical as I was when I purchased and built my Lionel Messi Celebration Lego (suggested age range: 14-18 years old).
