I am not much of a soccer fan and don’t know much about the sport but I think it’s really cool that the sport is celebrated worldwide much like the Olympics are. The festivities and atmosphere were awesome for drawings. I can only imagine what they will be like for the actual World Cup. I will be covering the World Cup on this site and keep everyone updated on the results and match ups taking place. The only guys I know of are Landon Donovan and David Beckham so I guess I will be watching what those two do in the World Cup. For now thats all on the World Cup. If any breaking news happens regarding the cup I will post it on here so check back often.
