The World Cup reminds me of the summer Olympics since it only happens once every four years and is watched world wide. It is ironic that soccer is the world’s most popular sport, yet it’s not popular in the United States, however World Cup fever is taking hold and working hard to capture an American fan base.
I do not follow soccer, but I am fascinated by the 2010 World Cup and I am following team USA as they battle it out against the world’s greatest soccer teams in a fight to win the coveted World Cup title. It was easy to get caught up in the excitement, everyone is talking about it and it is all over the social media channels. I completed a soccer bracket and will root for my teams and while I am slightly clueless about the rules of the game, I am determined to learn them.
Over the weekend, team USA played England, people packed into bars to watch this exciting match-up. I live in Washington, DC and the game was televised in a large park in the middle of the city. The park was completely filled and it was amazing to see people of all races, religions and ethnicities join together to root for our country. I hadn’t seen anything like it since the last Winter Olympics when the U.S. played Canada in the fight for gold.
World Cup also made the news because of the loud South African horns called vuvuzelas. The horns are played by the fans during the games and they sound like a swarm of bees. They are so loud that FIFA is considering banning them, however no decision has been made to date. The sound bothered me and gave me a headache, but I couldn’t mute my television, I wanted to hear the commentary.
I will follow the rest of the tournament, watch with friends and discuss online and in person. It is an exciting time and I can’t wait to see how it ends and who knows, I may become a soccer fan after all. Go USA!
What about you? Do you normally follow soccer or just World Cup?
