Being a day away from the start of the biggest sporting event in the world, and after a negative piece on the World Cup in the archives, I thought it was time to balance out the scales a bit.

Although a few people will still have their negative sentiments about the world cup (while their closeted positive person is waiting to escape), no one can deny the positive feelings and hype in the air. Everyone across all racial, gender and economic classes is getting into the thick of things with the support of our team after a recent spate of successful matches which has certainly boosted confidence levels all round.
