When World's Collide, Passions Ignite
‘The Hunter’

You all know what team I’m rooting for today. I have a weakness for underdogs though and the announcer just mentioned that The Australian team is the lowest ranked of all the teams in the World Cup. So, may the House of Orange prevail, but the Aussies put on a grand show!
Best I can do.
Cheers,

We won! Doing a huge yes yank right now! And we played brilliant soccer. Now, my loyalties are broken in half. Is there any way Holland can meet the USA in the finals?
Sigh.
I’ll be cheering on the House of Orange tomorrow!

I grew up in the Caribbean, specifically in Trinidad and Tobago, and that means I’m a confirmed soccer and cricket fan.
Okay, okay, through sheer osmosis (I live in a house with four males and have all my life), I also know waaaay too much about hockey, football, golf, baseball, and basketball. But, the World Cup takes the cake. And will do so until Anthony Rizzo’s in a World Series.
Every World Cup, there are controversial lists of the hottest players. It’s fun and entertaining to see who thinks who’s hot. Here’s a few eye candy lists for you:

And, of course, I’d be remiss without including this!

Have a blast World Cup fans! I know I will!
