What is all the fuss I've been hearing about the "World Cup" lately in Germany? Is this something new? Did the United States and Germany make the finals or something? And if so, why is this "World Cup" in Germany? In most professional sports, it is custom to play some games at home and some games away. So maybe the first two games can be held in Germany, the next three in America and then the next two (if necessary) over in Germany. I suppose the German's get home field advantage for some sort of valid reason.

Anyway, hopefully the Americans beat the Germans and win the World Cup. I just don't think I'll be watching because summer is a very busy time for me and I'll most likely be out in the yard doing stuff. I'd be out there now if it wasn't for all the cold and rain. I guess Global warming has not come to New England yet.

That's how every nation in the world has participated in qualifying for the past two years (except for host nation Germany).Out of close to 200 nations, 32 play in the actual World Cup.

At least soccer has a legitimate World Championship. The "World Series" is misnamed as every team but one plays in the USA. Some world!
