Column: A Way Too Early Pitch for This Year’s World Cup

Share this...

The FIFA World Cup has been my favorite sports event for as long as I can remember. After three years of regional competition, the 211 national associations in FIFA compete for a spot in the World Cup. Out of those 211, only 32 countries make it to the most anticipated and competitive event in the history of soccer.

Not interested yet? Don’t worry. Below is every reason why I love the World Cup and how any true sports fan can quickly become quickly obsessed with it. Keep in mind this event only takes place every four years, so you won’t want to miss it.
