How I got hooked on Footy.
————————————
Well I was a kid trying to meet some new people at my school(PNCA) in Portland. My English friend was always trying to tell me how great soccer was and I just wanted to check something else out. I had no idea what an obbsession it would become. It helped the entertainment was cheap (Since I am a non drinker its easy to go to a timbers game and not spend more than 20 bucks on ticket and a soda.. and a few more at the Bullpen (the pub by PGE Park)). It also helped that the Timbers where having an awesome season that year. The next year I ended up getting a internship for the Timbers and I became a member of the team for a season. This World Cup will be my first and I am super excited!

Teams I want to watch in the World Cup
————————————
Brazil (I need to see one of them Galactico’s)
Switzerland (Hoppe Suisse!)
Any of the African Teams (they are way underated)
US. (They play hard for a nation that could care less. I want the best for them, but I feel that the US doesn’t deserve to win.. not the players but the US. I feel that if the US did do good it would just add another knot to our belt.)

Why Switzerland?
————————————
A little Political, A little cause I like to Ski, and a lot on the fact that everyone that I known that has visited thinks its the best ran country in the world. I have never been there but I am planning a trip to go to Euro 2008.
