2018 World Cup in Toronto

The 2018 World Cup in Toronto didn’t disappoint. It was a busy summer and kept me on my toes. What with the challenge of finding fans of new countries such as Iceland, Peru, Panama and Egypt, and also, enjoying the deeper runs with old standards, such as Croatia and England, it was a tournament I won’t forget. Once again, I didn’t regret spending the finals with the losing side, as Croatia consistently provided the most amazing parties.
