Post-World Cup Blues!?

I woke up this morning with one thing on mind.

I'm going to miss the World Cup.

Never, in twenty tournaments, have I ever felt the Post-World Cup blues. 

It's quite surprising I had that emotion. It wasn't one of my favourite World Cups. 

What it must have been is I'm going to miss the routine I put myself through for the past month (and then some).

One day soon, I'll force myself to rank my favourite World Cups just to see where 2026 is on the list. It's certainly not at the top. On a positive, it's far from the bottom.

I was happy with last night's score of 1-0 to Spain. I suspected the eventual winners would keep it tight (that's their game!). I'm glad I didn't hedge my bets and wager on Lionel Messi to win the golden boot when I was offered 11/1 on Saturday night, once my Kylian Mbappe wager - from earlier this year - looked firm.

Spain not only had the best team at the World Cup.. it also had the best Walkers crisps flavour for this year's tourney.
