I hope you're watching the World Cup. This is truly one of the greatest sporting events of them all, and anyone looking to argue that it is in fact THE greatest has a lot of credibility. It is a game of grace and skill, and when all that athleticism and creativity leads to a score, watching the end result is a lot like experiencing fine art. Yet it's such an amazing spectacle that scoring isn't truly required. Today, Mexico challenged the host country, Brazil, and the outcome was a 0-0 draw. However, despite the lack of goals, this was a thrilling match that oozed drama and suspense.
Watch the World Cup. I know we Americans are relative newcomers to the sport and many of us know precious little about it, but the 2014 World Cup is just getting started. Thus far, it promises to be a gripping education for those who aren't in the know, and those who are in the know have to be impressed with the results thus far. Besides, The NBA Finals are over and football is still a couple of months away. This is the time to embrace the beautiful game.
