In Reply to: RE: I know it's "only" soccer… but anyone here wildly excited about the Brazil-hosted World Cup beginning in six posted by tinear on April 16, 2014 at 15:27:50
... More people play & watch football than any other sport in the world by a very considerable margin.
The World Cup is open to 209 nations to qualify. It is truly a world competition and not just a myopic egotistical wank off!
I will be watching a number of the games.
However, unless we are talking about a, 1995 Krug Clos d'Ambonnay or a, 1990 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche, I don't think I will be "wildly excited" in front of the TV unless of course my beautiful wife is dancing in front of it.
Bring on the World Cup!

I'll be watching when the opportunities arise. It's always entertaining over here to watch the English media puzzlement as to why they didn't win it again...:-)
This time England will struggle to make it past the group stages as both Italy and Uruguay are officially the better teams.
Germany will play Ghana again with a fair chance that Jerome Boateng will line up against his brother Kevin Prince Boateng.
Their maternal grandfather won the World Cup with Germany in '54.
of making it a carnival atmosphere. My biggest wish? Anyone who's seen "diving" for a penalty gets punished. I wish someone in high profile media would come out and berate those who do it as cheats.
