The Worlds Cup is on, as a few of you might know, and this is a rather big time in the world of football. While Twilight Town isn't large enough to warrant their own football team, England is, and their first match is tomorrow

I still remember when the new England strip came out for this particular tournament. How do I remember? Well, you showed up on my doorstep with a shirt for myself and then told me to support your team or you'd be forced to toilet-paper my house and garnish it with eggs. Said with such calm, but you've never been more intimidating! I still laugh at that to this day!
And you'll be proud to hear I am wearing the shirt for you today and Albanion and I will be watching the match. Pretty sure we can wrangle Fran in. Her competitive nature ought to make it interesting viewing, especially if she does what you do and yells at the TV! Never been to England, but I feel it's a team I must support.
Tell your father, mother, wife and Celes I send my best regards! And, so you know, I put half the ideas into his head for lewd things to write on your arms in sunscreen. Though I'm sure you figured that part out already!

Ah, yes. Football is a rather serious thing in this family, and if you wish to remain a part of it, you'll do your part and wear your colours. Elsewise, Father and I will be forced to charge you with treason and hang you upside-down from the treehouse until you repent for your sins.
Why don't you come over and watch it with Father and I? It drives mum crazy when we're all yelling at the telly.
You haven't been yet? We're going to have to do something about that, Auntie Carol would love you and smother you with all manner of foods.
I thought that was your doing, some of those insults seemed more like something you'd say. But, I'll pass on the regards. Will we have the pleasure of your family joining us for the tea party?

And there's no way I would have figured out that Football was serious in the Wilkinson household...! I wore the shirt, I watched the game and, let's be frank, it was a shit game. Perfectly dire.
I only got your message of offering after the match, I apologise! And perhaps one day I will go to England!
As for the tea party... I'm afraid we shall have to decline, with Violet still being unwell and all that. Plus, I assume that this planned adoption of me into the Wilkinson fold has yet to go through, since I haven't had to sign my name away yet? Can you talk your father into postponing it for a time? I have a very good reason for this, I assure you, but I think now is not the best time for me to resign the name "Bunansa".

It was a horrible, horrible match. There were so many opportunities that went wasted! And poor Robert Green, I'm sure he's catching hell right now for that.
It's all right. We were together in spirit. And you'll have to go to England sometime, everyone in the family wants to meet you.
Ah, is she still sick? The poor dear, I hope she feels better soon.
No, it's gone through, but we left the option for your last name to be up to you. When you want it changed, you'll need to go to the courthouse and have it settled there.
What's the matter? Is it your father again?

Not sure I'll do much celebrating or watching. I like the sport, (football was one of the few sports Cocoon allowed and I was on a team in high school) but...*shrug* maybe I'll just record it for later watch.

I'm going to watch all of the England matches, but I'm not going to worry if I miss any others. When we make the Top 16, there will be celebration, of course, but I have a job and a family, and those take priority over football every time.
