The games don't start till June next year

That's even worse scheduling than the NBA. At least they'd do both parts in the same year.

No worries. Everyone around you will probably remind you by the time it starts. If that don't happen, this territory will probably be filled with FIFA World Cup related posts by then.

No one's going to remind me irl. I live in the middle part of the country and work with a bunch of nerds.

Someone here will remind you then. I'm sure of that.

I bet I'll be in a World Cup contest and still manage to forget it's happening.
