This will be the worst World Cup in my life so far!!

I think this years World Cup in Japan will be a poor one.

Not just because my beloved England won`t get close to winning it, but the fact that it`s being held in Japan/Korea. Not either, because both countries probably would have not qualified if held in another place. (And l don`t think countries should co-host because thats one place less for another counrty)

lts the time difference which sucks. During the last few World Cups and Euro champs, it was great. You go to work, look forward to the match on tonight, then either go home, or out to watch it. Great stuff!

But who can get excited about getting up at 6.30 to watch a football match while munching your corn flakes, and trying to make a decent cup of coffee?

Yes, its fair that countries outside Europe should hold the event. Blah, blah, but l am speaking from my point of view here in the UK!

Early kick offs, the atmosphere just won`t be the same!

I believe nippon is the "Japanese" word for Japan.... if so, excellent pun. If not, damn you Richard Chamberlain, all those episodes of Shogun were wasted on me.

Feel sorry for me! I was looking forward to this world cup for ages, really thought england would do the business, and is all come crashing down!!

Add to that the fact that i have major exams at the moment, (which finish half way through) then have to go into hosp. for the final 2 weeks!!

Oh well... at least we did the double....

Only my subjective opinion and all, but I think you`ll find both Japan and Korea are both fairly decent sides. Both play attacking football, but are defensively dodgy.

You might be pleasantly surprised.
