My World Cup memories
I received an e-mail last weekend that mirrored a couple of tweets that have come my way over the last few days. The people who sent them all wanted to know what I will remember most about my trip around South Africa.
Seeing as the is in the final week of its 5,000-mile journey, I thought this was a good time to answer that particular question.
When we set out on our journey, the plan was to provide a cultural and historical context to the football and see how the country - and indeed the whole continent - is being affected by the World Cup.
It would be impossible to boil down my experiences to only one abiding memory, so I have decided to outline six things that will always stick with me.
Welcome comrades. This blog is all about giving you an insight into how Football Focus comes together each week. I do pop up across the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s sporting output so there may be the occasional reference to something other than the beautiful game too.
Have a read and feel free to join in with your comments and questions brothers and sisters.
