How To Host A World Cup Party
Ranked #6,792 in Sports & Recreation, #165,913 overall
There Will Be Numerous Opportunities For A FIFA World Cup Party
In the month long event that is the FIFA World Cup, 32 soccer teams representing their country will compete for the glory of the title and the trophy. The tournament is held every four years and this year will see South Africa host the event which kicks off in Johannesburg with the opening match between South Africa and Mexico. For those purists who know the code as football, I apologise. In Australia and the USA the game is still widely referred to as soccer.
