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 أغر؟´«أ½ 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.
