The globes largest sporting event is upon us and I have to say this is as popular as I've ever seen it in the States. That's including us hosting the event in 1994 where I was lucky to attend two World Cup matches. With technology reaching all parts of the world and more accessible in this country, the true melting pot can be felt. You don't have to look far in your ancestry to find some roots in some country that it's in the tournament. At this point, I don't even care if you're a poseur pretending to care just to have a reason to party during the week, the World Cup is simply the best. With Brazil being the host country and usually fielding the odds on favorite, this has all the makings of a world wide party with all eyes glued on the TVs, tablets, and smart phones. Keep the fridge stocked for when you're watching at home and definitely go to your local watering holes, city pubs, Little Italy's, Chinatowns, and every other cultural centric neighborhood and really get a taste for the game. Remember, it's only every four years so take advantage and wear your favorite teams colors with pride! Check out these great commercials that pretty much will want you to lace up your boots, put your kit on, and hit the pitch yourself.
