Brazil, you say? They know how to play football over there, don't they? But it's a long way for one so middle aged as I to travel.
So instead, I shall slouch into my leather armchair and view the tournament from this side of the Atlantic. I shall try and watch every game and will definitely make wildly inaccurate predictions too.
I do solemnly vow to give you a real sense of what it's like to not be at the World Cup. This is the blog where all the colour and atmosphere and passion of watching the world's greatest sporting tournament on a wall mounted widescreen really comes to life.

They finished 25th: JAPAN
Japan's games seemed to always kick off during the graveyard shift, so I failed to see a whole game of theirs. Pretty hard to review their performance then. So I won't. Sure they'll be back in four years. They always qualify.
