What is the World Cup?
updated April 21, 2018
It’s the culmination of an elimination style soccer tournament contested over four years between virtually every country in the world.
Who makes up the competing teams?
The teams are made up from a country’s best players across the world, a kind of all-star team for each country.How did the teams get here?
Finishing top or near the top of regional competitions held throughout the four years, the six regions are North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia and Oceania (New Zealand area).When is the tournament?
It spans about 30 days starting in mid June.Where is “The Final” held?
In stadiums throughout the country of Russia.What does the winning team get?
35 million dollars for their countries soccer organization.Who should you pull for?
Your home country, the favorites (Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Spain), the underdogs (New Zealand, Panama, Algeria, Iran), Teams with the best players (Argentina-Lionel Messi, Brazil-Neymar, Portugal-Cristiano Rinaldo, Uruguay-Luis Suarez), Teams with the best story: Bosnia-Herznagovnia (first tournament for this country that suffered through the ravages of the Bosnia-Serbia-Croatia War in the 1990’s) Iran (their players have been told not to trade their jerseys with the opposing teams at the end of a game (a soccer tradition) so as to save money).World Cup Links for Pick Research & favorite videos

My starting eleven for Ghana Monday June 16, 2014 5:00 PM Central TimeSoccer requires 22 players on the pitch (playing field), 11 for each team.
One goalie – the player directly in front of the net/goal who can use his hands to block the other teams attempts to kick the ball into the net/goal.
Four defenders – players spread across the pitch in front of the goalie who inhibit the other team from advancing the soccer ball close to or into the net/goal.
Five mid-fielders – players in front of the four defenders charged with protecting their own goal as well as attacking the opposing teams goal box.
One striker (forward) – plays in front of the midfielders close to the opposing teams goal and tries to facilitate the soccer ball going into the opposing teams goal.
