World Soccer or Football as is referred to in other countries around the world is a very BIG deal.  As with the Olympics it only comes once every four years and is a team sport that involves friendly competition between countries

Soccer is a very spirited sport that requires endurance, skills and knowledge.  But it has one additional component.  As with the Olympics, it involves pride to represent your country.  I love the concept of representing your country in a sporting event for the world to see.
