“It’s not about politics, or religion, or the economy. It’s not about borders, history, trade, oil, water, gas, mineral rights, human rights, or animal rights. It’s not about global warming, global pandemics, globalization, GDP, NATO, or Kyoto. It’s not about elections, sanctions, proliferations, he said, she said, my land, your land, no man’s land. It’s not about the stock market, black market, orange alerts, green homes, hope, change, fear, or loathing, It’s not about communism, socialism, or capitalism, war or peace, love or hate. This is about the one month, every four years, when we all agree on one thing… Thirty-two nations, one world watching.”
The 2010 FIFA World Cup is being held in South Africa this summer with 32 participating teams from 32 countries. This is the biggest stage to play the world’s game. Every nation is beaming with pride, thinking that this is our turn, our time to show the world what we can do. This tournament is one of the most widely watched events in sporting history and it brings a great deal of national pride. Watching countries compete against each other for the title of World Cup Champions makes this one of the most interesting and compelling sporting events in the world. Nations set aside disputes and the world comes together to support the sport and all of the competitors.
The World Cup is proof that there can be healthy relationships between nations. All of the nations have a common love for the game of soccer and this unites the world for a period of time. This is the most popular sport in the world, the World’s Game, and it has the power to create champions while bringing the world together by a common love.
