I suppose I should get one in before I die BUT overall I tend to associate long overseas trips with watching Stoke. Stoke probably won't be playing in Brazil! If England host 2018 I'll deffo be going to that.

I am up for it. I have just finished up some schoolwork and am free to travel a bit more now. Being based in Bangkok I have decided to take advantage of its central location and start to travel to major sporting events. Only football, rugby & cricket mind - no tennis or Olympics shit! The GF wants to go to Oz but I am not so keen having been there before. However, she wants to go in Nov/Dec this year so I now have a cunning plan to watch the first Ashes test in Brisbane and the 2nd test in Adelaide. She can stay with her mate in Melbourne for the 2nd test. In 2011 I plan to go to New Zealand for the rugby World Cup & 2014 for Brazil since I have been to neither of these countries. I think I'll get the atlas out now & start planning.

If England host 2018 I'll deffo be going to that. ===================================================== If I go to these events (except the cricket) I am happy enough to sit in a bar and watch the games rather than watch it live at the ground. Stoke are the only team that I would bust a gut to see live..however drab the 0-0 is! I was in Taiwan in 2002 and turned down Japan World Cup to watch the games in the bars in Taiwan. Still not got round to Japan despite it only costing a few hundred quid to get there from Bangkok.

DEfinately thinking about it as Brazil is always a country I've wanted to visit and what better time to see it than during a World Cup?

I went to Brazil on business a few years ago and it was surprisingly expensive. Also it is nearly the size of USA (minus Alaska) so there would be a lot of internal flights involved. You also need to watch yourself after dark in the main cities; Sao Paulo in particular is up there with Caracas as the most dangerous city I've ever visited (and Cardiff on a match day) Of course, all this will be rendered irrelevant if Capello's team selections for the next world cup's qualifiers are as bizarre as they were in this one.

Come on Mr Jon, just think of all the photo opportunities.... Lip Boster may even fly due south...

Hey Chin-up now there's a thought; meeting up with Lip Boster! We may need him in Sao Paulo or Rio Is that may and mar lads before the England v Austria game at OT on the left side of your avatar?

Football and not rugby I assume! ;D As for Joe's original question... I will DEFINITELY be there. Can't wait! Return flights from Sao Paulo to Rio are about 200 USD, so not too bad really. Went to SA but could only afford to go for a week. Gonna stay for the full month I reckon this time and start saving from now. Reckon you could do the whole kit n caboodle for about £2000 for the month. Not ridiculous if you started to save from now and booked your tickets really early. Fromafar - I would be interested to know how you have tickets when they aren't on sale until 2012? You can't even book flights for 2014 yet! ;D

I'm considering it, if i did go I'd probably give the big games (and england games) a miss and go to games that are easier to get tickets for and the rest of the time I'd get pissed and soak up the atmosphere
