Hello, so this is a piece I wrote 7 years ago about the World Cup. I still happen to think it was one of the bests I've written, but the copy online was...badly formatted, so here it is, in full, in a hopefully readable style. I was planning to write a sequel, How the World Changed the World Cup, and I still do, but parenthood has as yet delayed it...
