I always enjoy watching all the different countries with varying backgrounds come together to play in World Cup Football.  This week has seen alot of ups and Estadio Centenario 1930.jpgdowns.  Unfortunately, the US Team did not qualify for this world cup but love the VW commercials urging US spectators to pull for their team -  "Cheer for Germany, they gave us the frankfurter" and "Iceland can use your support as we don't have enough people to do the wave"   Uruguay hosted the first World Cup in 1930 in the "Temple of Football".   The US placed third which has been their best finish in all the World Cups they have participated.  They placed 8th in 2002 in Korea/Japan.  I grew up playing football, AKA Soccer, and was always disappointed because the US did not qualify in the 70s and 80s.  But I always watched and had a favorite country.  Good luck to all the teams.
