As you may have noticed, there’s a World Cup going on. Google seems to have changed their search algorithm since the last time we had one of these hootenannies, so searching for “World Cup songs” no longer takes you to my essay about that very phenomenon (in my collection of 1998 letters home from England).

Which means that this time, I’m not getting my quadrennial barrage of outraged emails explaining that England and Scotland are separate countries and it’s totally valid for them to have separate World Cup teams.
