World Cup Fever

As the World Cup fever permeates the world, I don't share the enthusiasm. I used to get excited about the number one sport in the world when I was a kid in China. I remember playing football, as the rest of the world called it besides the U.S.A., every chance I got. Ping pong and basketball came second and third compared to football. Once my dad brought me a pair of cleats. I wore them every day to school. Somehow after I came to the U.S., I rarely played football. I picked up basketball. I'm sure it was due the change of environment that my interest in football ebbed.

Though I no longer feel the World Cup fever, I still enjoy a game here and there.
