The World Cup (and How It Pertains to Our Trip)

It's soccer fever around the world as the 2010 World Cup in South Africa begins!!! The top 32 national teams in the world are currently battling it out as we speak for total athletic domination. Naturally, Europe is THE hub of soccer (or should I say football from here on out) fanaticism and excitement. The tied 1-1 match between the US and the UK yesterday will certainly be all over the news in London, and any further matches for France (who tied 0-0 against Uruguay) and Italy (the reigning world champs) will no doubt be all over their media as well. And, if we're lucky, we may even stay up all night due to any racket outside during game time! Fasten your seatbelts, we're heading into "The Football Zone"!
