Just three more days until one of the biggest sporting events on the planet kicks off. I can't wait! A few weeks ago I posted my excitement and at that time I thought I might weigh in with some more thoughts about the World Cup. Since then, news hit about lots of injuries to some of the brightest stars in the tournament so who knows what awaits the millions of fans whose eyes will be trained on South Africa over the next four weeks!
As for me, I'll have my eyes trained on the following . . .
I have become a pretty big fan of the Spanish team, largely because of Fernando Torres and Sergio Ramos. As a result, I also watch Real Madrid and Liverpool as religiously as I can.
I know this next comment will be blasphemous to the England faithful, but I am not a Wayne Rooney fan. But Frank, John, and Steven have my alliances equally torn between Chelsea and Liverpool, and will have me hoping for a good English showing.
As a La Liga convert, I can't possibly root for Real Madrid without becoming a fan of Gonzalo Higuain. I am so interested to see how Argentina fairs in this year's contest. With Messi being one of the, if not the, best players on the planet, I am eager to see how these two team up.
Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo. Just because. Simao ain't too bad to watch either.
And finally, my beloved Azzurri. A few of my favorite faces will be missing from this year's squad, but there are a few holdovers from the 2006 winning ensemble that I hope will make Italy's showing fun, strong, and exciting.
So, who are you rooting for? Are you loyal to one team, or root for a bunch of favorite players? Who do you think will be the last team standing? Inquiring minds want to know!
xoxo,
bex
