Here’s the secret: the chaos makes it memorable. You’ll remember the 4am goal. You’ll remember falling asleep at halftime. You’ll remember the weird snacks you ate.
It’s a shared adventure. Everyone in the UK will be on the same weird schedule. You’ll hear coworkers complain about tiredness. You’ll spot people in meetings fighting to stay awake.
The 2026 World Cup is the ultimate test of fanhood. It’s not just about football. It’s about surviving the time zone gauntlet. It’s about finding joy in the 3am absurdity.
So start planning now. Clear your calendar. Buy a quality kettle. And invest in some blackout curtains. The beautiful game is coming at you from across the pond. And it’s bringing a jet lag you never knew you wanted.
See you at 2am. I’ll be the one with the coffee and the flag.
Let the countdown begin.
