GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAALL!

It's that time again folks. TheWorld Cup, starts on June 9. Every four years, this thing takes over me and it's just all soccer all the time. In 2002, when games were held in Korea/Japan, being a fan meant visiting bars that broadcast the games at all hours of the night. Luckily, this year the games are in Germany, so the games will all be held during reasonable hours.
This year, the US has a decent chance of at least advancing out of our group, but a US fan can not simply watch the World Cup to cheer on our boys. First of all, the US will not win(sorry, all you die hard patriots, but it's true), and second, there's a reason that worldwide it's called "the beautiful game," each match is to be enjoyed for the strategy and finesse of the two teams and individual players.
I have to watch all the games in Spanish because I don' t have cable. This makes the games extra interesting because I can understand only about every fourth word. Luckily, "goal" is the same word in Spanish and English.
