My World Cup Story Part 1

Before April 2004, I was an armchair follower of the Socceroos. Apart from watching the few live matches that I could when I lived in Sydney, I never really made any effort to travel and follow the Socceroos.

That was until i boarded a plane in Mt Isa and sat in my seat next to Frank Farina, then the Socceroos coach. My first words to Frank were, “What the F*** are you doing in Mt Isa?”. I chewed his ears off for the next 2 hours about the Socceroos and when i left the plane in Brisbane my parting words were “If you get the boys to the World Cup in Germany, I will take my family to Germany as well”. I hopped on a plane straight to Mackay and all I thought about was how was i going to get my family to Germany.

Over the next 2 days i hatched a plan and told Veronica when i eventually returned home. My idea was met with some scepticism, and many questions followed.

Want to Make a Million Dollars???

Want to make a Million Dollars?? I don’t have to be a rocket scientist to make up the statistic that over 90% of people would say yes to that question. I would love to make a million dollars, but if i can’t, then enough to get Veronica and I to the World Cup in South Africa 2010 will be enough.

I have been speaking with “The Worlds Best Web Designer – Brendon Sinclair” and he has encouraged me to write a Blog about Football (Soccer for you Philistines) Tours and my experiences. Apparently i can make money from it if i am good enough at dribbling. So here we are with “Hands On Football”.

The next step is to get people to actaully want to read my dribble night after night, (that is tech speak for adding content.) Most of you would be family and friends, so please keep coming back in the short term andf make it look like i have a following. Hopefully others will follow. Add some comments if you like as well.

You are not going to make a Million Dollars from visting my site, but hopefully i can make some good coin so we can get to South Africa and you the readers will get some good tips on Football Tours.

Thanks for now

Terry
