    Apologies to Mael, but I AM going to invoke the "non-specificity" clause on this one. Because it does not define or specify what kind of "shopping" is acceptable. So here's a selfie of me shopping on EBay, wearing my Thompson Camel...

    New challenge: Kilted while clearly* supporting your favourite World Cup football (soccer) team!

    *My definition of "clearly" means: you must include something along the lines of: a national team's jersey (past or current), T-shirt, flag, scarf, or a group of fans/supporters/hooligans who are decked out in supporting kit, etc. Simply being in the team's national colours is NOT ENOUGH. Standing in front of a pub that is decorated for the World Cup is also not quite enough... Because it's the pub that's supporting the team -- not you. But you standing in front of a decorated pub, kilted and IN team colors, with arms above your head, yelling a chant or slogan, WOULD be acceptable (if you can shoot the photo in such a way to make it clear that that's what you're doing). Lol! Sorry for the verbose instructions.

    A team that is not your favourite IS acceptable, but it must be one of the teams that is competing in this year's FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

    indeed, that was some out of the box thinking, JD! Touché!

    Have to count me out on this one too. For a start I don't think Scotland are in it and I've always said that the best thing about football was it kept people off the streets on a Saturday afternoon. With apologies to my son and grandson who both seem to prefer football to motor sports.

    If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!

    I'm surprised this is a challenge that stalled this game. Since the Steelers aren't in the world cup ;) I have no apropos regalia, but one might pose holding a TV playing a world cup game, thus 'supporting' two teams, but don't have a jersey to wear.

    I did think about taking a photo of myself whilst watching Uruguay vs. England last night, but I didn't have any Uruguay kit, merely my ABE* strip.

    I see the games playing in Motel lobbies and a few Hispanic stores but I'm just not much of a fan. Certainly no regalia with me as I work my way through Southern Idaho this week.

    They are selling ABE stuff at my favourite pub The Caledonian. I was thinking about doing the same thing.

    Well I thought I would at least give it a go. Of course my favorite team is Mexico, and here is my favorite fan, Maria cheering on her teem, (I think) It was all in Spanish actually I have no Idea who was playing, and I just met Maria. Well her name may not even be Maria. but it could be. So I doubt this will even come close to meeting the criteria So I am not going to pick a new challenge. But I would like to thank this Beautiful lady for posing with me in this picture.
