Yes all those things you mentioned are true
But there will also be (in no particular order):
Some heroic underdogs
A precocious kid or three you’ve never heard of, playing with no fear and lighting the place up
Some epic goals
Some epic cock ups
Geopolitical hilarity in some shape or form
New ideas, new tactics, new stars
Old stars giving it their all for a last hurrah (step forward Sir Harry)
Shoot out drama
Thunderbastard freekicks
Crowds of entertaining foreign fans (the Dutch doing their dance, some hot Scandis)
And above all, the frenzied faint hope that will never, never die that this time … it’s COMING HOME
I absolutely love the World Cup
