On the lighter side- Sports- Soccer-World Cup

So the biggest sporting event on earth (besides Olympics) has started in South Africa. The world cup Soccer is truly a world sport which is played almost everywhere on earth. I have not been watching the games but I am following on the scores and it seems that the lowly U.S. has been gaining in popularity and strength. I don’t have any doubt that if we pay more attention to the game, we can have a world class team also.

It is also good news that all the matches are being telecast in the U.S. and newspapers have also shown interest in the game. Although it will take decades of hard work and attention by the fans in the U.S. to get the ordinary Americans to get an interest in the game but eventually it will pay off.

Although Italy is the current world champion, but as the holder of most titles, Brazil again is the clear favorite. And the United States have not done half bad by holding a draw to both England and Slovenia (although the game has since become controversial).But it is still interesting to watch all the teams battle it out on the field for every body to watch even if you are not a fan of soccer (called football the world over).
