World Cup Friday


Hey!

So the World Cup officially starts. Its such a colorful joice to see the supporters both in real and virtual world. I am a bit jealous of  all the fans since my country couldn't make it to the tournament this year. What a disappointment... Well I'll support for whomever I feel closer to I guess, and that gives me many teams to support (don't judge me, its my only consolidation :)

Anyway, hope you all enjoy the matches and for those who has no interest in it, at least take a look at it to see how fun and cheerful the celebrations and fans are.


Here are some fun facts about the World Cup:

  • Uruguay is the first country to host World Cup finals hosting 13 country which participated by invitation.
  • The first World Cup played in 1930. (Uruguay got it)
  • As you may already know, the country who has won the cup the most is Brasil.
  • The country who has lost most in the finals is Germany.
  • Every letter in the alphabet has been used for players surnames who have competed in the Final. True or False? --- True :)  
  • The highest scoring match is the 1982 World Cup game in which Hungary defeated El Salvador 10-1.
