The world comes together in a mass demonstration of misplaced priorities mixed with international friendship. Soccer, or football as the rest of the world knows it, is played in every corner of the globe, including America, who generally suck at it...LOL
Enthusiasm counts for something!
The winner will probably be a European or South American team but the fun is infectious. Politics takes no seat (except possibly nationalism) and it is fun for everyone, even the teams that don't win.
The World Cup is a lot like the Olympics--fighting stops, even in the Middle East (!) and a lot of things stay open 24/7 to catch every game. This will be all anyone talks about for a solid month.
The audience in America probably won't be that big, but it will seep into the news coverage.
I will watch it like I always do since it is a fun game to watch and it gives me something to do before the Canadian Football League season opens!
