I love sports especially Football. but when I say Football I'm not referring to American football but real football. The one where you actually use your feet. In other words the real original Football. The one that people play all around the world! Lol.
Just for the record all of my nephew's soccer pictures and videos have been removed.

Football (soccer) facts
1) According to a survey conducted by FIFA published in 2001, over 240 million people from more than 200 countries regularly play football.
2) The World Cup is the biggest soccer tournament in the world. It is held every four years in a different country. Billions of people watch the televised games as the national teams from countries around the globe battle it out for soccer supremacy.
3) Media coverage The World Cup was first televised in 1954 and is now the most widely-viewed and followed sporting event in the world, exceeding even the Olympic Games. The cumulative audience of the 2006 World Cup - including all of the matches - is estimated to be 26.29 billion. 715.1 million individuals watched the final match of this tournament (a ninth of the entire population of the planet). The 2006 World Cup draw, which decided the distribution of teams into groups, was watched by 300 million viewers.
4) The United States' Major League Soccer made its debut in 1996, shortly after the wildly successful 1994 World Cup was hosted by the United States.
5) With five titles, Brazil is the most successful World Cup team and also the only nation to have participated in every World Cup Finals so far. Italy follows with four titles, including the most recent one in 2006.
6) Football is the name given to a number of different team sports. The most popular of these world-wide is association football (also known as soccer). The English word "football" is also applied to American football.
7) Soccer Players are the most overall fit athletes on the Planet!! Brian Budd used to prove this in the Superstarts competition(he was always winning this against baseball players, American football (should be called american handball) etc..From what a read, Pele used to lose 5-10 lbs per game in international
competition. Think about it!!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
There are many beautiful things about being an American fan of men's World Cup soccer - foremost among them is ignorance. The community in which you were raised did not gather around the television set every four years for a solid, breathless month. Your country has never won. You can pick whatever team you like best and root for it without shame or fear of reprisal. You have not been indoctrinated into unwanted-yet-inescapable tribal allegiances by your soccer-crazed countrymen. You are an amateur, in the purest sence of the word.
The World Cup is the only truly international sporting event on the planet (no the Olympics)
.
Country: United States
Interests and Hobbies: Some Americans don't understand that the world loves football (i'm not going to say the 's' word) they are just a bit slow but they will catch on soon.
Movies and Shows: But I think that we have more American fans since the USA World Cup in 1994. Now Beckham is here in the States and I'm pretty sure more people are going to follow football. Well, at least I'm sure that the ladys will. lol. Football rules!

Books: WHY DO WE FALL IN LOVE WITH SOCCER?

At some deep level the reason soccer snags us is that good soccer is beautiful, and it's difficult, and the two are related. A team kicking the ball to each other, passing into empty space that is suddenly filled by a player who wasn't there two seconds ago and who is running at full pelt and who without looking or breaking stride knocks the ball back to a third player who he surely can't have seen, who, also at full pelt and without breaking stride, then passes the ball, at say 60 miles an hour, to land on the head of a fourth player who has run 75 yards to get there and who, again all in stride, jumps and heads the ball with, once you realize how hard this is, unbelievable power and accuracy toward a corner of the goal just exactly where the goalkeeper, executing some complex physics entirely without conscious thought and through muscle-memory, has expected it to be, so that all this grace and speed and muscle and athleticism and attention to detail and power and precision will never appear on a score sheet and will be forgotten by everybody a day later - this is the strange fragility, the evanescence of soccer. It's hard to describe and it is even harder to do, but it does have a deep beauty, a beauty hard to talk about and that everyone watching a game discovers for themselves, a secret thing, and this is the reason why soccer, which has so much ugliness around it and attached to it, still sinks so deeply into us: Because it is, it can be, so beautiful.
