The World Cup is Knocking

It's hard to believe, but believe it. The event that people wait four years for, the event that brings many of the world's nations together on a single, spectacular stage, is coming. It's a wonderful time, a brilliant time, a time in which countries like North and South Korea could be on the same field, and not for a war. It brings in even the most casual of sports fans, and engulfs them in passion for their country. When a nation wins it, it not only gives them bragging rights, it gives them a high sense of nationalism, and God knows we need that right now. I know I'm excited, and you should be too. Because the World Cup is coming in about 4 months, and the beautiful game will surely be played beautifully. Heroes will be made, hearts will be broken, but in the end, soccer will be played, and soccer will unite the world.
As a Philadelphia sports fan, and a U.S. soccer sports fan, I haven't seen much winning of championships in my lifetime.(Disregard the fact that I'm also a Manchester United fan). When the Phillies won the world series in 2008, it was one of the happiest moments in my life, but it would come nowhere close to what I would feel if the U.S. could take home the trophy in South Africa. In this blog, we will exploring all of the stories for the World Cup, as well as posting previews for each group, pre-Cup analysis, and analysis throughout the whole tournament. If you don't want anything to do with the World Cup, then this blog is not for you. However, if you love the World Cup(as you should), then stay tuned, because the World Cup is knocking.
