Stop, rewind — this isn’t how I pictured it at all. For one thing, the France kit is wrong, it’s meant to be a lighter shade of blue. As for the Dutch, where’s Dennis Bergkamp? Retired? I thought this was the World Cup.
Don’t worry, this isn’t going to be 500 words on how everything was better in the past. That was my last column. It’s more a reflection on that most malleable time in our lives, when we were still young enough that every experience was new but old enough to think for ourselves.
