The long wait is almost over with the World Cup kicking off this Sunday. For those interested we can discuss the tournament here. I ask that those who don't follow or like soccer please refrain from posting your derogatory remarks on this thread. I'm sure there will be plenty of other threads to do so.

Having been to two World Cups (US '94 and Germany' 06) I'm really excited. Hopefully the US can have a good showing. They're apparently the youngest team with an average age of 25.

Lots of other great stores to follow. It's this it for Ronoldo and Messi? Two of the best players of all time. Is this finally Englands time? Can an African nation make it all the way?

Enjoy!
