Top marks for trying

LONDON - An early contender for 'top World Cup chancer' is a reader of this blog who made the offer below. Sadly we turned him down, not least because of the miles of 大象传媒 red tape that would have been involved. But we like his style!
"I'm a freelance football writer but unfortunately was unsuccessful in my attempt to get accreditation for the World Cup (but like the Murphys I'm not bitter).
Anyway, I was wondering if there was any space on the camper van (sorry, motor home) for one more?
I could bring an interesting dimension to the trip given that my country is a footballing non-entity (though Walter's turning things around slowly) and the 'Auld Enemy', England, have a very real chance of winning football's greatest prize.
I'd love to hear from you, all the best
PS: If you agree to this, I promise to do all the cooking for the duration of the trip...and the washing up. I'm sure the boys on the van would appreciate this. Shall I pack my bags then? Or would you like to see some of my work first"
Nice try!

10/10 for effort.
No such issues for me.
I have tickets for all of Englands group games, plus all knock out rounds, that England take part in.
Come On England give me a summer to remember.
