I do not know much about what we call, in the United States, soccer, but the rest of the world knows as football. I do know that currently, the World Cup is being played in Brazil. And I know FIFA (the Fédération Internationale de Football Association http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/organisation/index.html) is the world governing body.
If you listen or watch any news, you will know that the previous World Cup champions, the team from Spain, has been eliminated from the match! This is big news in football circles.
I watched a football game the other day, with my niece and her friend, and they explained a little about the rules to me. I also have looked through some of the rules.
I am trying to develop a broader view of the world. I am not working hard at it, but I am trying to pay attention. International sports is included in that, so I am paying attention to the FIFA World Cup results.
