The world’s biggest sporting event outside the Olympics, the FIFA World Cup, is here again. As teams converge in Germany for the soccer fiesta, the real question on everyone’s lips is who will win the trophy this time? Will it be the Samba boys of Brazil, who are tagged as favourites, the Azzuris from Italy, the German machine who are the hosts, the Orange boys from Holland, the boys from Argentina or would it be one of the dark horses such as United States, Ukraine, Spain, etc. It might also be one of the African countries taking part such as Ghana, Ivory Coast etc., or it could be Asia’s turn with the likes of Japan and South Korea, and it might as well be Australia. What is so good about the World Cup is that everyone has a chance to prove what they’ve got and take a shot at soccer glory.

A galaxy of stars from 32 of the world’s best soccer-playing nations will display their soccer artistry, deft touches, and magical dribbles as they battle for the ultimate soccer diadem, the 24-carat gold World Cup trophy. Though the 64 matches will be played in a convivial and sportsmanly atmosphere, the road to Berlin, venue of the grand finale on July 9th, is expected to be fierce. The strong, well-organized and, perhaps, lucky teams will seek to eliminate the weak and not so lucky ones in their quest to clinch the ultimate prize.

The World Cup has its glorious moments, breath-taking scenes, heart-breaking moments and unforgettable happenings. The World Cup is simply scintillating soccer at its best. For 30 days, the world will stay hooked to this soccer event. Imagine the feeling; it simply blows your mind away. So get ready to be swept away as the World Cup kicks off today, June 9th. It promises to be a full month of total soccer, the best you could get anywhere on planet earth.
