yes folks, you heard it right, the greatest sporting event in the world is a mere 30-days away. This gives you plenty of time to start cracking wise about how soccer/football is rife with cheaters, only surpassed by your favorite NFL team's biggest rival. Since the USA did not make it, you will need to find a replacement country to cheer for. Do you go with an ancestral nation? A previous winner? pull for the underdog?
i'm picking Belgium, if for no other reason than they make mighty fine beer in their country...
so come one in, have a beer, pick up a vuvezela, and make some noise...

We're going to be in Amsterdam during the final - I expect it will be a blast whoever is playing (go Netherlands!)

Alas, we have to wait until next year for the Women's World Cup to see a truly excellent American team, who still get paid a pittance compared the men who couldn't qualify.
I'm going with my daughter-in-law's country, Mexico.

I have to admit....i couldn't care less about whatever the current name of the pro soccer league in the U.S. is (MLS?) or European League soccer or any of that.....but i have grown to really appreciate and enjoy watching the World Cup.

RJ - yes, one game tomorrow for opening, then 2 per day for the next 2 weeks, essentially, then into the round of 16 back to one-per day...and then from the world cup we go straight to the Tour de France - once every 4 years is a true sport fans dream for back to back greatest 2 sports on the planet...
Ed - i've been watching the Thursday night darts on BBC, i have to say it is quite intriguing...possibly the craziest fans of any sport i have seen (is it even a sport?)

My family is super excited for the world cup. And we can't wait for it to be in the US in eight years!

... once every 4 years is a true sport fans dream for back to back greatest 2 sports on the planet... I have to say, as a sports fan, if soccer and bicycle racing were the ONLY two sports on the planet, I'd no longer be a sports fan.
