World Cup 2010

Growing up in Germany, I naturally I became an avid soccer fan! To me soccer is exciting,  fun and 1000x more interesting than the MLB or the NFL. And of course, I was one of those soccer fans, who counted down the days to the official start of the South Africa 2010. Today, World Cup officially began.
Everyone who knows me can attest that I'm not a morning person, but I managed to get up at the crack of dawn to see the opening match: South Africa vs. Mexico. It was a great game, made me wish that I was in South Africa at the moment. To experience first hand, the excitement, the crowds, the games, and most importantly the spirit of the world cup. However, one day I will make it to World Cup. For now, I will have to watch the games from the comforts of my home.

*Sidenote: I'm rooting for Germany! Of course! Their first game is Sunday. Woohoo!!!
