The Fifa World Cup
The World Cup is an
international football competition that is played
by men and women to represent
their country. The championship has been awarded every four years since the beginning
of the tournament in the 1930’s. In 1942 and 1946 it could not be played
because of the Second World War. The current champion is Germany; they have won
their fourth title at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Also, the current format of
the competition involves a qualification phase, which takes place over the next
three years, to determine which teams are qualified for the tournament phase,
which is called the World Cup Finals. There are 32 teams, including the
automatic qualifying host that participate in the tournament.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeremy. I appreciate your feedback on this blog entry. Ever since the world cup, my interest in soccer has become stronger. The information I’ve found for this entry is stuff that I didn’t know and I find it very fascinating.
DeleteAccording to me the current winner of last year world cup which is Germany deserve the cup, after defeating the organizer at their home 7 goals which is not easy to do, i just saw their strength congratulation to them although they humiliated Brazil.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Germany did deserve to win the world cup last year. Brazil lost 2 of their best players and had a very difficult time from keeping Germany from scoring. I feel like Brazil gave up, but at least Oscar scored for them
DeleteI like you blog it's really good and I. Agree with you Germany did deserve to win the World Cup they worked so hard and they did it also my dream is one day to play in the FIFA World Cup!
