The World Cup will bring everyone together

So far this year, the world has suffered a great deal of bad news between the earthquakes in Haiti and Chile and the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. There are over six billion people in this planet and there are several people that suffer everyday. There are also several people that are healthy and have a lot of success. Finally something that we have been waiting for all year is now here, the World Cup. Since the World Cup is starting on Friday, this will be a great opportunity for everyone to come together and root for our teams to victory. It will be held in South Africa from June 11-July 11. For one month, people will come together and cheer for their countries and even other teams.
There will be 32 teams in eight groups that will be participating in the tournament. The team that is most likely favored to win is Brazil, because they always put together a great club. Since South Africa is hosting the tournament, I will root for them because not only do their fans deserve to watch them play, but they deserve some success, like winning the pool.
This is the best part about sports, people all around the world watching the games/matches together. Remember the 2006 World Cup in Germany? What about the Olympics in February? Both events were exciting because millions of people in the globe watched all of these events. No matter what the results were, people were just happy to have the opportunity to root for their countries. Watching sports is a diversion for people that are suffering. Does it fix people's problems permanently? It doesn't, but what it will do is make people forget about their problems for the time being. Dreams become realities, so do nightmares. There will be success, there will be disappointments and there will even be a Cinderella story. In the end, whoever comes on top, that country will be jubilant about being a winner and having the chance to watch their national club play. Even if you don't watch soccer in any capacity, watch a least one match, you will not regret it.
