It all starts on June 9th in Germany, the 2006 World Cup. Forget Red Sox and Yankees, this is nation versus nation on a world stage. It’s potential matchups like USA v Iran (though not likely to happen this year) that make these games a bit more meaningul than an ALCS game.
I know it is fun to bash on soccer now and again, especially if you haven’t played, or don’t get it, but trust me, try and catch some of these games on TV next month…there is nothing like it.
