Agreed. I'd say football is the sport of the world and the World Cup is like the showcase of immortals.
The Olympics is full of sports nobody really cares about, who has parties in the street when their county wins a gold medal?
And the Super Bowl is pretty much the FA Cup of American Football.

There's no other international competition that evokes the same passion and intensity as the World Cup, each competition is wildly different and you can never write a team off. Just wish Scotland could actually qualify for one, I was too young to really remember 98.

lol the Super Bowl is pretty much why I don't watch any American sport. There is just far too much silliness involved, ads and so on.

It's a shame for Wales and Scotland, Scotland used to be decent as well, sometimes I reckon there should be a British team but it'd never happen. And even Olympic football, nobody is arsed other than the South Americans really. Were Scottish people behind the British team for that? Always got the impression that they consider themselves Scottish not British and only English people cared lol.

Best post ever!

I love the football world cup. I support Germany not just because they are a good team but due to my German ancestory. If New Zealand makes the cut I will support them.

Germany have a great chance to win it, they probably have the best squad along with Spain.

I love how so many people who are not usually football fans take interest in the World Cup.

I still fucking rage every time I see this though.

If I had the English football games playing on TV I would watch it a lot more! I love the whole thing as in New Zealand live games play early hours of the morning so you set your alarm, cool your beer in the fridge and have the popcorn ready.

Among all the chaos & corruption, something like this brings, this organisation The Spirit Of Football (google search it), has loads of positive things to contribute towards the festivities of the 2014 World Cup. There are some really interesting & uplifting things going on here, it's really worth checking out!

Also, I think (though wouldn't quote me on this!) there is also a theme tune in the pipeline by UK band New Model Army, who also have a new album out soon too called 'Between Dog And Wolf'.
