I can think of no greater waste of money than watching a shit football team play in a shit league that they have no hope of winning

What league?
This is a cup competition. A cup competition we have a great chance of winning and a cup competition where we got to the final last time round. It's all a moot point though because football is my last priority on these adventures.

Football is rubbish, aye.
But when your shit team is blessed with the (ridiculously rare) opportunity of playing on the continent, it's not to be sniffed at. Not because the football will be any less boring, but because it's a chance for you and 2000 other people to experience something different for three days and have a laugh with your mates.
