Every 4 years, the World gets together to perform the greatest sports tournament known to man. While the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, College Football’s Bowl system, and the Superbowl can capture millions of viewers in the US, the World Cup is able to capture billions of viewers across the globe.
The United States gives Soccer a bad rap and to be honest, I was never much for soccer until the 2002 World Cup. A senior in High School at the time, I had friends stay over and watch the games with me and it was an awesome experience. Most of us have come from different countries and some even brought flags to waive in my living room at 2:30 and 5:30 in the morning (Again, Sorry Mom and Dad). Germany lost to Brazil in the final, and the US overachieved. It was a World Cup to remember.
The 2010 World Cup promises to be another memorable tournament, as there is no true favorite in the field. When you couple that with the location, there is sure to be a ton of headlines in World News. South Africa has battled a tough last few weeks in making sure that there would be suitable stadiums to play in and hopefully the World Cup will be remembered for the games and not for anything else. Over the next few months, we would like to preview the top 16 contenders in the 2010 World Cup.
