I WAS struck by football fever, literally, when FIFA World Cup 2018 entered its final lap last week.

I developed a bad chesty cough with sore throat and almost lost my voice. This, I suspect, is thanks to the chilly nights out watching the 2am matches on the big screen projector at Restoran Mustaqim in Butterworth.
