2018 was a bit weird, wasn't it?
England's government basically collapsed, Kim Jong-un and Moon Jae-in walked around a nice garden together, & Vladimir Putin 'won' another presidential election.
Oh, and most importantly, football almost came 'home'.
2018 was so nearly the year in which England won their first World Cup since 1966. And because of this, for many, the abiding memory of 2018 will not be the shambolic Brexit negotiations; it won't be Kim Jong-un and Moon Jae-in becoming best mates; and it won't be Vladimir Putin's Russian 're-election'.
Rather, it'll be the football, and it'll be the emotions that the football stirred in us all in 2018 - the excitement, the euphoria & even the melancholy.
