World Cup Soccer
Just Looking ...
Soccer is one of my favourite sports, both to watch and play. In previous years, I haven't really been interested in the world cup as much as I am now, and to be honest I'm not sure why. I watched the Trinidad and Tobago vs Sweden game and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I was rooting for Trinidad just because they were the underdogs this year and everyone expected them to lose, terribly. So, as you might guess, I was really happy when they tied the game with Sweden! And no, I'm not Trinidadian, nor am I West-indian, but I guess my point is, that the World Cup really does bring people together and it establishes respect for countries that people may have previously dismissed like Trinidad! I also thought the message in the beginning"A time to make friends" was quite appropriate! Go Soca Warriors!
