World cup
I know it's a hard one to try and sort out but one great one is trying to be in a country during the cup final and they go on to win it!

By sheer luck, playing at a Celtic Music Festival I was in Spain when they got to the final, arriving in the country the day of the semi-final meaning we had all the build up.

The final was on the last night we were there and is perhaps one of the greatest nights I have ever had. They had set up a special screen in the square where the festival had been (finishing earlier that day) and there were thousands of people watching it.

From what I gathered back home the game was a pretty poor final but being in the middle of this crowd it seemed like the most intense game of football ever with about 4000 people all kicking the same ball!

Needless to say when then goal went in the place erupted and kept like that until the final whistle and the trophy presentation.

And then us, Scottish, in kilts and with pipes, spent the night either at the beer tents in the square or going around the pubs piping, dancing, drinking and just being part of the whole atmosphere.

Utterly brilliant and would recommend it to everyone to try and get it done before you die because, let's face it, it isn't happening in any country on the British Isles any time soon!
