Whit mak this Warld Cup traivel wabsteid

A personal note fae a thirty-year fitbaw fan an restless traiveller.
A'm a auld fan that's watched the gemme for thirty year. The Warld Cup tae me isna juist the scheidule, scores an knock-oot stages—it's like a gey accurate clock that cuts life intae memories ilka edition. A'll mind whit room A wis in for a certain match, wha wis wi me, whit supper wis on the table, an whit name suddently went fae unkent tae everyday. At the same time, A'm a body that loves tae traivel. Near twa months ilka year, A pit masel on the road tae see hoo nature, society an culture unfold slawly in a place. Travel the Teams wis born whaur these twa auld passions met: the Warld Cup on ae side, an an open map on the tither.
Ither years at this time, A micht hae been at some beach, muntain road, market or railway station. This year acause o the Warld Cup, A didna go far. A juist wanted tae watch the gemmes quietly, but aw thae teams an flags in the matches that A didna ken weel. A suddently wantit tae spier: Whaur is this kintra exactly? Whit's it like in the mornin? Whit dae fowk eat efter wark? Whaur dae the bairns play fitbaw? Gif A land the morn, whit road dae A tak tae get tae ken it?
