Ready or not: Let the Games begin. Futball/ calcio/Soccer as the case may be. Soccer mania is about to grip the world. Most people are rational thinkers except when soccer is involved. Then, reason flies out through the window. Every four years, it is mayhem and madness throughout the sports world.
Not so much here in the States, but, most of the rest of the world. In the States, we have Lionel Messi on the cover of NYT Magazine for today. Now that's a real step up. Not too many years ago, you could walk the halls of any major American media outlet and not hear a word mentioned about soccer. So, there is improvement.
With a German head coach, the American team will be looking for some recognition. It may or may not happen. One star, Landon Donovan, was cut from the roster over some type of disagreement. Not a good sign.
Lionel will play for his native Argentina. Will they accept his participation? Only time will tell. But if he becomes a scoring machine, who will care where he's from?
The first round begins this week. Stay awake and have some soccer fun.
