The World Cup and The World Cup of Tea reach their end. And with that, Zeff has just one question - how will you remember the 2022 edition of the tournament. Will it be the games, the host, your fig business even, that'll you be packing away in your memory to help you recall the last month? Or maybe nothing at all. Do big events mark the passage of time, or just take up the time? Or is Day 30 just the time to leave the World Cup behind....

The last week, so the last round of reviews of documentaries and books. Today, the grand-daddy of all sports "behind-the-scenes" documentaries, "An Impossible Job." The first and still the best, "An Impossible Job" joins then-England manager Graham Taylor as he struggles to get the team through World Cup qualifying. Battered by the press, circumstances beyond his control, Taylor struggles to retain his resolve and natural decency (this the man the British press derided as a turnip) as events conspire against him. This is the forerunner of everything you see today, yet more honest and never bettered.
