One of the greatest sporting events in the world starts in Germany today, The World Cup. The opening match is between Germany , the host country, and Costa Rico kicks off a month-long competition by the best 32 teams in the world. The first World Cup was held on July 18th, 1930 and quickly became a sporting and financial success that continues to this day. Most Americans cannot comprehend the fervor around this sporting event, but to compare it to our sensibilities it is the SuperBowl, World Series, NBA Championships, the Stanley Cup, Kentucky Derby and the Indy 500 all rolled into one package.
Our American team has played well and has the opportunity to do better than they have ever before. The Americans are in Group E, along with Italy, Ghana and the Czech Republic. We have a talented roster of great athletes but whatever the outcome, this will be a great series for any sports fan to watch. If you want to watch some great action plan on watching at least one game.
