Just a quick first entry. Only a few hours left before I leave for the airport and 4 weeks of fieldwork. Very nervous but also very excited about the opportunity to actually get out and do some research instead of just reading endless books and articles on football. The idea of this blog is to record my observations and thoughts throughout the next month for easy reference when it comes to writing up. Also, everyone can see how I'm getting on.
As much as I cant see it happening, fingers crossed that Ghana and Togo do well. If either or both progressed past the first round, I cant imagine what the atmosphere will be like!
England for the World Cup
