I Only Watch Soccer for the World Cup and That's OK

Before we get started here, let's get a few things straight,

soccer (n.): sport where you kick a ball at a goal.
football (n.): sport played on 100 yd field with 2 end zones.
futbol (n.): does not exist in America.

So I don't wanna hear it.

Been taking a lot of shit lately from a few soccer friends for being pumped for the World Cup. Apparently, I'm not a member of the exclusive group of soccer super-fans who are allowed to get excited for an international sporting competition (mind you, one of the most popular in the world). Basically what I'm trying to say is that telling me I don't watch enough soccer to be into the World Cup is like telling me I'm not into curling enough to get jacked for the Winter Olympics. Are you kidding me? Never watched a second of regular season, club curling. Doesn't mean I wont don my USA curling jersey (jersey?) and go hard for my country.

With that said, I will watch the World Cup. I will root for my country until they are inevitably chased from competition in the earliest possible elimination round. And I will not watch the sport again until the World Cup next year. 2 years? 4? I don't know.. its soccer...
