The Federation Internationale De Football Association (FIFA) was founded in the rear of the headquarters of the Union FRancaise de Sports Athletiques at the Rue Saint Honore 229 in Paris on May 21, 1904. This sport is the biggest event held and is #1 on the charts, with 3.2 billion viewers all over the world. The very first game held was on July 30, 1930 with 93,000 spectators as Uruguay defeated Argentina 4–2.

The FIFA World Cup allows for a global redistribution of power, and some of the things that these guys at this level can do with their feet are beyond comprehension.

The game of soccer is nicknamed “The Beautiful Game’’ for a reason. It is a beautiful game to watch when played in the right manner. The biggest reason of all to watch the game, other than four billion people can’t be wrong, is for one month, the world — no matter what differences there are for various reasons — it brings everybody together, from countries that haven’t ever seen eye-to-eye to people uniting from all different realms of the world. The World Cup is the most watched because it is the world’s sport in the grandest of tournaments.

While some people focus on the ball or other players, watching becomes more interesting when the players do an amazing trick or a victory dance. It’s a true team sport. Sportsmanship is an important part of our human society.

Tune in at 9 AM SMT on the 14th of June, 2018.
