Much to the dismay of some of my friends, there will be a few more updates on the Soccer World Cup. Yeah, we will get over it soon, but it’s just been a too exciting event to just let it slip into the past. In 2010 Soccer has really arrived in the US. People from all walks of life have been watching the game, following their team and other teams. It’s been a blast to live here in the US and be part of a country getting really behind this. ESPN did a great job on making the games available and their commentation didn’t suck either.

Makes you want more!

Tomorrow will be another day, there will be another opportunity to cheer, to be excited, to laugh to be positive… right?
