  7. Facts or opinions? Personally I love the World Cup ..... 5 weeks of car free roads and empty supermarkets while England are playing. Bliss. I just can't see the point of an overpaid bunch of blokes kicking a ball around a field. Women's football doesn't get even the slightest amount of funding or TV coverage. I wouldn't say I'm a die hard fan but I do love a good World Cup. Very disappointed with England. Enjoyed Slovenia/Algeria but nervous now that there is a leader in the group. Looking forward to Germany/Australia this evening. Do you agree with these? Why or why not?
