Have you got your World Cup wallchart yet?

Have you got your World Cup wallchart yet? 09/05/2010

There's a question and one which a lot of the younger players
may not fully comprehend. As the World Cup draws near there has always been the quest to find the ultimate World Cup wallchart. For theuniniated, the wallchart is general a poster sized chart whereby you can fill in the match details and follow the progress of the competing teams in that years particular world cup. In days gone by, they would have been a feature of the many soccer/football magazines of the day.

Although various corporations and companies would jump on the bandwagon and produce their own mickey mouse variation.

As it stands, the only one I've seen advertised is the local 442
mag's production, and we'll have to purloin a copy to vouch for its
quality and "artefactedness".

The World Cup wallchart once complete, and after the final if you remember to fill in the details, will then be rolled up carefully. It will then be safely stored away from degenerative sunlight and damp atmosphere in the walk-in robe on the top shelf. The only time they will be brought out is on certain rare occasions (decorating, tidy up, Mrs needs more shelf space etc) and shown to various uninterested offspring. My personal favourite is from the 1986 world cup and is complete with team tabs, slots, graphs and everything. Strangely though, not much is recorded after the England v Argentina match but therein lies another story.

So if you see a World Cup wallchart worthy of the name, keep it,
fill it in religiously after every game, then store it carefully in a
wardrobe near you. You never know, one day it might be worth something.

But probably not. Still, they help pass the time between games.

The Herald Sun usually comes out with one prior to the grand event, if memory serves me well I used that one last time. Keep your eyes open for it...hopefully its worthy this time around aswell

Then doesn't pass the "artefactedness" test. What will you show your kids?

I'll hopefully watch with my kids the future world cup tournaments...the ones in which they would actually give a toss about
