Glastonbury World Cup

Whether or not England beat Slovenia and make the next round of the World Cup on Wednesday, England will be in a World Cup final on Thursday and I’ll be playing in goal.
The efestivals Glastonbury World Cup that is!
Last year’s event saw 800 people watch England romping to a 9-3 victory over the Rest of the World with the icing on the cake being Festival organiser Michael Eavis turning up to present the trophy! The event raised over £3000 for WaterAid. This year he has challenged the event to raise £6000 for WaterAid and thus provide enough money to cover the cost of building three water wells. Water is something that we all take for granted but other people aren’t so lucky.
The event on Thursday 24th June begins at 1pm at the Pyramid Stage field with prematch entertainment from Hobo Jones & the Junkyard Dogs who will be doing a 40 minute set with the World Cup match starting after that. The game will then finish around 3 o’clock when once again Michael Eavis will present the trophy to the winning team.
