Current Event 2-World Cup 2010

This world cup of 2010 will be hosted in South Africa. The world cup occurs every four years and consists of 32 teams, with 4 teams being in each group. This year the U.S. has been placed in a group consisting of England, Serbia and Algeria, the toughest opponent is England in this group. The U.S played England in their first match of the world cup and tied them one to one with the U.S scoring a goal that should have been a routine save by the goalie. The U.S's next two games should be wins which would allow them to move on to the next round.

All though soccer is not my favorite sport or even in my top 3, I am still very excited for the world cup. With the U.S coming in second place in the fifa cup last summer they proved they have a chance to do better than usual this time. I also feel that much like the olympics, the world cup does a great job of uniting different countries and bringing the whole world together.
