FIFA World Cup Final


Hello everyone,

I thought best to start with a quick introduction about myself:

My name is Marien and I am new to this Bucket List team.

I have ticked many dreams off my bucket list and the ones which I have not attempted are similar to the other bloggers. However, my list just seems to keep on getting longer. So, I’m going to start writing about the one thing that’s currently on the top.

It all starts with a buzzing ambience and you can feel the tingles running down your spine. The excitement, anxiety and thrill build’s up inside of you by the minute. There’s nothing you can do to stop this stir because you’re surrounded by others who share the same whirlpool of emotions… This is just the beginning and you have 90 minutes of this emotional rollercoaster till you begin to settle. Watching a FIFA World Cup Final is on the top of my list!

I have grown up watching football (soccer for some) and I have even witness families being completely divided over their favourite teams - in Uruguay football becomes your life! I can still recall being very young and having to wake at ridiculous hours of the night in order to watch our nation’s team play. Apparently, if you were not watching the game live then you were not a true supporter.

Our family always becomes more united during these moments in front of the television every four years and I can only imagine what affect it would have on us if we were watching the inaugural winners Uruguay play live in the FIFA World Cup finals.
