"Soccer" is such a gay name. It sucks all the glory out of Football when people refer to it as that. In the states, I get the impression that football(soccer) is a minor sport for immigrants or school boys, and the name "soccer" is just that which doesn't really fit fot the greatest sport of the planet! I understand it is there to avoid confusion from American football, but still, such an odd name. Personally, everytime I hear the word "soccer", I can't help but think its a completely wrong name. Its like calling basketball 'cricket'.
So yeah, nobody seems to be interested in the world cup that much here in New York.
Anyway yeah, I can't wait till the cup starts. It will be awesome. I'll keep an eye on Korea's team cuz I still feel sceptical about our performance last time around. I think this will be a proper test for us. Also interested to see Italy and France. Hope they do alot better this time around. I'm picking Brazil and Germany as champion contenders, but we'll have to see more to be certain.
