Goooooooooooooooal!

Yes, it is that time world.  A celebration of the world's sport: Football/Futball, or Soccer as we call it here in the states.


Ever since participating in the AYSO (American Youth Soccer Organization), I have been permanently hooked on the game.  I enjoyed it before, but out of all the sports I did, football was the only sport I have had an particular affinity for.



However, playing soccer as a youth is nothing when comparing to the full on World Cup.  Once every four years there is a championship played by all the world.  This coveted game of games lead to show the world which nation is the most skilled and able in the world of football.  For the year 2010, the games started on June 11th and will culminate with a finale on July 11th and is hosted in South Africa.  Yes, a full month of great football games hosting the world's finest players.



In addition to watching the world's finest players, the games are held at some of the finest venues seen. The following are just a sample of the stadiums that are used.
