It has been said that this summer is going to be a great one for all Europe. At least for the northern countries, that means less rain and warmer than usually weather while that may not be so god news for the Mediterranean ones where higher temperatures won’t be that pleasant. What is not very known is that during summers where there is a world cup, people travel less and they are quite happy to stay at home with their friends and family. It is definitely at big social event rather than a pure sports one, given the influence it has on so many people’s daily life around the world.
This is another reason that raises even higher the expectations of the forthcoming summer. Football and non football fans around the globe are all, to a greater or lesser degree anticipating the 1st ever world cup to be hosted by an African country. I don’t think many people would be indifferent to a pretty warm summer, where there will be many social gatherings because of the World Cup. It has been such a hard winter this year, and recession made it even heavier, therefore all Europeans are looking forward to a great summer.
The most common picture from the summer includes a lot of friends taking their places around the Telly in the balcony, trying to listen to the commentator’s voice coming out of those. Kids will be running around playing with their summer toys, say a rc helicopter,while at the same time their parents will be enjoying a cold glass of beer straight out of the beer keg chiller. And if there are some people around that do not enjoy watching football that much, you should expect some great barbecue too.
Hopefully for many, there’s no room for mistakes in the scientist’s forecasts for the summer. So lets hope everything will be as well as we expect it!
