Football, the World Cup and me

I've been a football supporter for as long as I can remember and I regularly attend matches across England following my club.

I won't be going to South Africa due to the cost involved in getting there. However, I was fortunate enough to attend a week of the last World Cup in Germany and it was one of the best weeks of my life due to the party atmosphere created by people of many different nationalities.

Usually, I won't do anything special to watch football on TV other than group outings to the pub. However, this year I am attending a fancy dress party for England's opening game against the USA where everyone has to come as a footballer from a previous World Cup. Due to this I have bought a wig as I'll be going as Colombia's Rene Higuita. I will also be watching England's final game of the group stage at Glastonbury festival on a big screen and, hopefully, in some glorious sunshine.

My Internet habits won't change too much over the course of the World Cup, I am a regular visitor to the BBC Sport website so this will be where I get most of my information from during the tournament. For further analyse of matches throughout the season I generally use the websites of The Guardian and The Times, so again this is likely to remain the same.

The two pieces of advertising which have caught my attention are the following TV commercials:
Carlsberg - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66OuJZGDCHE

Nike - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idLG6jh23yE

Both are really good, entertaining adverts which I feel are helping to create excitement during the build up to the tournament. However, I won't be drinking Carlsberg or buying Nike products.

Hasta la victoria siempre.
