i realized this morning that i forgot in my "it's june" post to discuss the world cup...how could i forget about one of the more exciting sporting events in the world?!!
well, it's here and the americans have one of their best opportunities to advance to the round of 16 than they ever have. we just drew a tie with england whom some have as one of the top contenders to win it all. while the american goal wasn't the prettiest or the fact that at times our defense looked shaky, i'm pleased and excited with our potential over the next few weeks.
playing soccer was an intricate part of my childhood & high school years so unlike the majority of americans i know most of the what seem confusing rules/events within a match and get really energized every 4 years when the world cup enters our lives. attending a world cup is definitely on my bucket list especially after bonding with my friend alicia over u.s. soccer 8 yrs ago while we were on a mission trip in belize...let's just say the 2 of us teenage girls became early risers to take in the american games.
enjoy the next few weeks of world cup action & let's go america!!
