USA World Cup Action Starts Today
Something called the 2010 FIFA World Cup began yesterday… with both games ending in ties. The team representing the United States has their first… game? match? contest? (I’m sure there’s a proper term) today at 2:30PM EST against England. The World Cup is a global phenomenon that often goes unnoticed here at home. I know less about this stuff than I do about the NHL, so I’ve been doing some research online.
Here are some things you can do to get involved:
- Download the ESPN FIFA 2010 World Cup iPhone App
- Figure out what some of these three letter abbreviations mean
- Learn to chant
- Decide if you’re going to call it football or soccer
- Actually watch a game sometime in the next month
I’m sure we’ll be talking about the World Cup a lot more, but today we’ll be back at the Philadelphia Comic Con. Say hello if you find yourself there.
