Child's Play
- 29 Jun 06, 11:00 AM
We thought it was about time we heard from the kids on World Cup Have Your Say.
Of course at the World Cup the closest kids get to the game is being mascots (no, I'm not talking about Theo Walcott), and I'm sure none of them are complaining, but we want to know what children think about football.
If like me, many of your early memories are of football matches, you'll remember the thrill of the crowds, playing your first game, the exotic countries you saw on tv at the World Cup. So how do today's children see the tournament, and the game of football?
We'll be bringing together students in Asia, Africa and Europe (sorry, at 0800 GMT it's tough to get anyone in the Americas on the programme, but if you want to take part, let us know) to talk about playing and watching football.
How do they feel about diving? It must have been a part of the game ever since they started watching, not some new(ish) blight on our memories of bygone times.
And we'll want to know what they think about the quarterfinals. And of course what you think...
