World Cup 2014

It happens once every 4 years and when it's 'game' time, it becomes the talk of the world. I admit I'm not your avid fan who, like my dad, has his favorite team and watches each game leading up to the World Cup event. However, during those moments when the game is on, I seem to get lost and a new sports fanatic comes out of me.

Having played the fútbol game a few times, as an activity when I used to live in San Francisco, there's no doubt that watching the World Cup brings nostalgia. I think understanding the game, the emotions and watching the fans are all part of what makes this game exciting to me. Of course, every World Cup I tend to go for the under-dogs and it's safe to say that USA had a lot of flack about not making it out of the "Group of Death". Well, we did make it through....up until the 16th round. Although, if you saw that last game, TeamUSA put up a good fight. I'm still a fan and I feel that one day we will win the golden boot and fútbol becomes a popular American sport.
