I consider myself the most casual soccer fan there is. Just me calling the sport “soccer” and not referring to its proper name of “fútbol” has resulted in me getting dirty stares at bars where the World Cup games are on.
Even with my lack of knowledge about the sport as a whole, I’ve enjoyed every nail-biting minute of the games I’ve watched thus far. Witnessing the US get trounced by Belgium and screaming my head off when Argentina eked out a win against Egypt have stood out as some of the more exciting developments of this year’s World Cup competition.
