The Ball prepares itself for kick off
This Sunday, May 28th 2006 in Battersea Park, London
Meet us @ 2pm at the Peace Pagoda on the river
So then, here we go again… it’s time to visit our Mount Olympus as we prepare for the epic overland journey to, er, Munich. Oh well, not quite the same epic as Seoul was last time or Cape Town will be next time, but hey, continuity is what it’s about this year. In the spirit of the low-key, low-effort* nature of this trip, we’re playing a kickabout on Sunday, May 28th at 2pm in Battersea Park.
(*since I wrote this Sky News have announced that they’re coming along to broadcast the kickoff LIVE on TV — *gulp* — not so low-key anymore then)
The Park
It may not be well organised, it may even end up as mob football, but we’ll be there all the same. Come along! Meet us at the pagoda by the river and help us make a spectacle of ourselves… bring along a dark and a light shirt so we can divide up into recognisable teams.
And as a reminder of what this is all about, I’ve included the 5 minute movie from 2002 below.

Best of luck guys. Have fun.
By the way, your 2014 page says, “Brazil have yet to host a World Cup”, but I’m pretty sure they did in 1950.
Oh dear… rumbled! Thanks Ian – much appreciate the info, of course they did.
