Fifa World Cup 2014
The Fifa World Cup is a global soccer extravaganza that occurs once every four years. The previous World Cup in 2010 was held in South Africa, with Spain defeating the Netherlands in the final 1-0. To many of those who dont watch soccer, The World Cup is a major soccer tournament that pits 32 nations into 8 groups of four in a random draw. There are over 200 countries in the world and the world cup has room for only 32 teams, meaning nations must qualify through through their respective regions to reach the World Cup. The regions are Asia, Africa, Europe, South America, North America and central America/carribean. Each region is allocated a certain amount of slots. Europe (13 spots) Africa (5 spots) asia (4 spots) South America (5 spots) North America and central America/Carribean has 4 spots. The month long tournament begins june 12 and will be held in brazil. All 32 nations have one dream and that is to hoist the World Cup trophy. This summer the world will see who achieves that coveted feat.
