World Cup Seating and News
It was a big day in sports today.
I know what you are probably thinking. Tim Tebow and the Florida Gators came up short against the Alabama Crimson Tide in a battle of #1 vs. #2 in the SEC championship at the Georgia Dome.
If you are a West Coast football fan, you might be depressed that USC finished sixth in the Pac-10 after dropping a 21-17 decision to the University of Arizona today.
While those games were exciting and interesting, it pales in comparison to the impact of the World Cup soccer news that came out of South Africa. The sports world turned its attention to the draw ahead of next summer’s matches as the seedings were announced today.
This blog is for you, the sports fan thsat has an eye towards internal sporting events.
As I mentioned the big news is the seats and I am about to give you which group every nation is seated for the World’s 2010 soccer tournament. For those of you who are hard core soccer fans, I hope you will forgive me for a second. My peers are the first generation to play soccer en mass in the United States, yet many do not know the rules and path of the World Cup. I admit I watch a few matches but still have a lot to learn.
The World Cup is comprised of 32 teams that have reached this final stage after advancing as a result of qualifying matches.

A bit random but interesting, considering that only Brazil has been able to win the Soccer World Cup outside of its own continent – what can we expect for the World Cup in South Africa?
