Today is the start of the quarter finals of the World Cup. While England is now out of the running, there are still some favourites in the running you may want to win. Today there are two games. The first one is at 3 pm between the Netherlands and Brazil and the second one is at 7:30 pm between Uruguay and Ghana. The will be two more tomorrow before the winners of these games face off for the semi finals starting on the 6th. The World Cup this year is fraught with controversy but it is also what makes it fun and exciting. When you are watching the games today, show some support to your favourite team or just have some fun with a World Cup themed get together and sky lanterns.

Use the novelty sky lanterns as a way to support your favourite team. The football sky lanterns such as the ones found at http://www.nightskylanterns.co.uk/novelty-sky-lanterns/football-sky-lanterns/prod_26.html are the ideal World Cup accessory. If you are having a party to watch the game, it is especially appropriate. The football sky lanterns come in three different colours. There is the traditional black and white you can get but you can also choose from blue and white or red and white. Have a barbecue, invite some friends over for the games and have a few drinks. You can release a sky lantern when your team scores or release them when the games are over in honour of the winner.

If you want to get more creative, though, you can even personalise your sky lanterns. Choose a colour from the coloured lanterns found at http://www.nightskylanterns.co.uk/sky-lanterns/coloured-traditional-sky-lanterns/prod_9.html that represents your favourite team. You can then use a sharpie marker to write a personal message, the team player’s names, a good luck with or even draw a picture on it. If you have kids at your party this is a great way to keep them occupied and get them involved with World Cup fun with the adults. They too can be a party of the sky lantern launching in a very personal way. You can use either the plain, coloured sky lanterns for personalization or you can write on the novelty, football lanterns. Whatever you choose it will be a lot of fun to support your favourite team and a great sport.

Even though England was eliminated from the World Cup there are still some great teams advancing to play on. Choose your favourite today for the two quarterfinals match ups. The winners will move on to the semi final rounds and you can do it all over again. Make sure to save some football sky lanterns for tomorrow’s continuation of the quarter finals of the World Cup. You can have a great time with friends and family of all ages by incorporating sky lanterns into your World Cup festivities and celebrations. Launch your sky lanterns each night in celebration of the winners from the best teams in the world this year.
