So we did the family draw in our house for the World Cup.
Simple system. 32 names in a bowl. 4 family members. We draw in rotation. 8 countries each.
There are enough superb teams in the World Cup that the spread should be ok for all right?
No. That is a fabulous theory. Somehow the actual "draw the folded paper from the breakfast bowl" reality was somewhat different.
I held my breath each time I dipped my hand in ..... Would it be Germany? Brazil? Spain? (who I have supported year in and out for a loooong time now). Would it be .... Would it be .......
In all my "would it be's" I never once mentioned the following teams:
Honduras
Nigeria
Algeria
Costa Rica
Russia
Uruguay
Cameroon
But somehow I managed to pull them out of the bowl. For myself. To support.
How wonderful. How lucky. How Blessed. How flippen unlikely that I will win the pool.
I did get England. Make me proud boys.
I am begging.
So if you see someone in the mall wearing a World Cup t-shirt with Honduras on the front. It is me. Their supporter. Die hard soccer fan.
And how the hell is it possible that given the countries above, Bafana did not qualify. Hummmf.
Can't wait for the next family pool.
till next time
