The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be the 19th FIFA World Cup, the premier international football tournament. It is scheduled to take place between 11 June and 11 July 2010 in South Africa. The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be the culmination of a qualification process that began in August 2007 and involved 204 of the 208 FIFA national teams. As such, it matches the 2008 Summer Olympics as the sports event with the most competing nations.

This will be the first time that the tournament has been hosted by an African nation, after South Africa beat Morocco and Egypt in an all-African bidding process. Italy are the defending champions. The draw for the finals took place on 4 December 2009 in Cape Town.

In memory of a friend
My friend Ivan Jimenez will be extremely happy about this World Cup. Afterall, Spain is in the final! My last and also first World Cup attendance was in Germany, ie. The 2006 World Cup. I didn’t really visit Germany for the World Cup, I was hardly a fan. I just happened to be there. I was in Berlin, Hamburg and Luebeck during my summer vacation. The festive mood in Berlin & Hamburg was simply incredible; everywhere you see men (hot blooded ones too)! Lots of foreigners, tourists, merry …

      Imagine a 2010 web response to Zidane's infamous head butt. It would make the 2006 news flurry feel like a wind gust.       I'm talking about an all out blizzard. Zizou's knucklehead would rival Bieber fever.       It's time for records to be broken. On the field, off the field and in the Internet. The World Cup 2010's greatest feat may be taking the current race of global social web thought sharing and blaring to an unimaginable …

***Dear Internet, please excuse the lack of visual aid and humor me by allowing the archaic written word to fulfill the stimuli necessary for your enjoyment. Apparently, there are still some places in the world where you are an infant.*** For the fourth time this World Cup, my voice is killing me.  Last night, I spent half of the game (after weaseling down from the nosebleeds to the bloody noses - i.e. the seats you where the fights break out in the armpits of the stadium) I belted out in …

I was really excited about successfully picking Italy to win it all last time, and for largely the correct reasons (solid defense plus superb metronome midfielder/set piece taker in Andrea Pirlo). But I'm really torn about this one.      Predicting the World Cup is usually quite difficult, but there are almost always a few rules that work:      1. Repeat champions are extremely rare. Too much pressure, probably.      2. The host nation …

I'm a soccer newbie, but being introduced to The Beautiful Game via the 2010 World Cup is about as good as it gets. I can't believe I've been missing out on this insanity every four years! Now I have something to look forward to when the Olympics are on downtime; better late than never! Between losing sleep to watch the early AM games, the vuvuzela madness & buying my own ball to kick around, World Cup fever has definitely struck me hard. I just wish the teams I rooted for were still in the Cup!

Feared African killer bees as a child, but had no idea how bad the problem was until I listened to the World Cup. Is it even safe to play?

   I think it is good that the World Cup is happening.  I wish it was in Michigan, particularly detroit and michigan stadium though.
Quick Tip by . June 15, 2010
Some of the games have been a lot of fun but I'd love to smash those stupid horns making that constant bee noise!

Rep of Ireland were so horribly close and robbed by an Henry handball. I don't know if they would have gone though, guess we'll never know.
