Now the season is over it's time to start really looking forward to the world cup, as is usually the case i'm optimistic about Englands chances but that optimism is usually found to be misplaced!
No matter what though a big football tournament always creates a good atmosphere out and about and I remember back in 2002 watching some of the games in Japan at the Gerrard at silly hours in the morning - packed out though. Hopefully this summer will be the same and maybe, just maybe England can give us an added reason to enjoy it!!
