Each day around the country, thousands of America SCORES poet-athletes lace up their shoes and take the field to play soccer. And while they may not know it, they are part of an international phenomenon: across the globe, hundreds of millions of people play the game. Every four years, all of these soccer players and fans come together to celebrate their sport at the World Cup, arguably the greatest team sporting event on earth. For over a month, teams representing their countries battle it out to see who is best, with plenty of drama, heroics, and bravery thrown in.
My name is Caitlin Barrett, and I am the National Soccer Director at America SCORES. We’ve decided to commemorate the 2010 World Cup in style here at SCORES, and this site will be your ultimate destination for all related information. In addition to news about local viewing parties and fundraising events, I’ll also be blogging live from the tournament for two weeks in June.
My blog won’t just cover all of the nuts and bolts of the soccer side of things. During my time abroad, I’ll also be looking at the social aspects of the tournament: How is soccer bringing people together? What is South Africa doing to welcome the world? Who amongst the world’s greatest players is demonstrating the SCORES values of teamwork, leadership, and commitment?
We’re so excited to celebrate this event with you, and we hope you’ll come along for the ride with us. Keep checking back for more news and information as the tournament progresses.
Happy Viewing!
