101.1 TTD No. 48 - ... World Cup

The Fifa World Cup is the biggest team event in the world and it starts today!

In the original 101 Things To Do Before You Die published in 2004, one of the Things To Do was Be Present When Your Team Wins the World Cup, now a lot of people quite rightly pointed out that this was pretty unrealistic. So in a later edition of the book this Thing To Do was revised. It is now called:

101.1 TTD No. 48 - Be Present When Your Country Wins the World Cup (or Another Major Trophy).

The form can now be tweaked for any sport PLUS I've added an extra box in the corner of the form for those fans who weren't lucky enough to get into the stadium (or for the average sports couch potato).

As I didn't make it to South Africa for the World Cup this time I'm hoping to fill this box in with England's name in a month's time – Come on England!

Click here for this and more Updates for the 101 books via the Things To Do Website. Good Luck to all the teams in the World Cup.

Ha! I had already changed this thing to do to "Be Present When UNC Wins the National Championship, Redskins Win the Super Bowl, or Hurricanes Win the Stanley Cup" as I'm terribly American and could care less about soccer. Thanks for the new page though!

Glad you took the initiative and changed the Thing to your taste but it's a shame you're not into football - mind you american football makes no sense too me ...

Do you know who England's first match is against tomorrow? the USA!

Just like to say thanks for a great idea for a book. I'm starting on my list at the moment. Do you mind if I add a link for this site to my blog site?
