The clock is ticking. Time is running out. Football is coming home, and we still haven’t cleaned up the house!

When football left this morning, we promised we’d clean up the house, unpack the dishwasher, and put away any dishes we used throughout the day.

We’ve had so much fun today, playing Wii Tennis, eating homemade curly fries, and drinking copious amounts of red cordial that it looks like it’s completely slipped our minds - football will be coming home in a very short amount of time!

Once football gets through Croatia and France, it’ll be walking right through the front door, and we’ll be copping a hiding. Last time football came home and we hadn’t done the washing up, we were much younger, and we were yelled at. We don’t want that to happen again!

Hopefully, football hasn’t had a bad day at the office. But still, we have some time to clean up.

Note: At The Obiter, we don’t know very much about soccer. This is our attempt, based on the fact everyone’s been saying the phrase ‘Football’s coming home!’ a heck of a lot. Best wishes to us.
