They already have the "street style", coupled with the technical elements they pick up in Europe and there you have it....
I tried to figure out how I could get to South Africa for the World Cup, but a two leg 22 hour non-rev trip doesn't seem like it would be a good idea all things considered!!!
If you're not doing everything you possible can to make the game, at great sacrifice to yourself, you're not trying hard enough. The true English hooligans would mock you for using that as an excuse to miss a game. But I know some guys that have tried to non-rev to a WC before, uh, not easy.
But yeah, it'd be damn cool to make it to SA to see it. Besides, I've wanted to see that country for years.

With the way it's being managed, doubt I'll ever get to fly a charter trip unless I want to give up some serious time off.
