Someone once told me something about soccer. It's called "football" everywhere else in the world, but it's absolutely different then American football. The reason it's loved everywhere is how simple it is: you need two feet, a ball, and a field. Not yardlines, helmets, uprights. It's cheap, and dynamic, and beautiful to watch.
I take great pride in being Brazilian, in being the world's greatest. I love the sight of kids head-to-toe in dirt, kicking around a worn-out ball and laughing.
I love the smell of churrasco,
the boys all rocking that god-awful Ronaldo Fenomeno haircut in '06,
the streams of yellow and green completely covering every available surface,
the ridiculously sexual beer commercials featuring the most beautiful women in the world,
the "CLOSED TIL AFTER THE GAME" signs strung up along the streets,
and most of all I love the sound of "GOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL" ringing around the world.
Happy watching. 365 days until it is actually showtime.

The US is better in terms of looks. Them Brazilians are sure nasty lookin' (Except for Kaka, of course).
Girls love Carlos Bocanegra, and Benny Feilhaber. Look 'em up!
I can't wait for World Cup RSA 2010, should be a good one.
