Going To the 2014 World Cup: Check Out RoadTrips.com When You Are Ready to Jetset To Your Next International Sporting Event

Tinkering with the idea of attending my inaugural World Cup next summer got me to thinking . . . first and foremost about the logistics of packing my bags and hitting Brazil next summer to attend the 2014 World Cup, and to cheer for the United States soccer team, and other teams that represent countries that I like or follow from time to time.  I've only become an active soccer fan within the last 10 years.  So, I guess that you say that I am just coming out of the closet as a soccer fan.  Yet, my recent announcement that I am no longer a closet soccer fan doesn't mean that prior to my coming out of the soccer fan closet that I was an anti-fan of soccer.  To the contrary, I have never disliked soccer or had anything against the sport of soccer, rather it was just that growing up on Chicago's low-end--soccer was not one of the sports that everyone played in the homogeneous Fuller Park neighborhood on Chicago's southside.  Instead, I grew up playing the other football, basketball, baseball and softball--never mind that outside of the United States of America--soccer or futbol is the most popular sport in the world.

Ok, now that I have shared my childhood sports machinations, and my lack of soccer participation outside of my elementary school gym class, I have to celebrate my new found appreciation for the art of the soccer ball.  Undoubtedly, Mia Hamm and the United States Women Soccer team's on the field heroics during the 2004 Olympic games captured my attention along with millions of other Americanos back then.  As a matter of fact, I have made it my goal to watch the USA Soccer teams compete during the World Cup and the Olympic Games since that time.  Anyway, enough of my admissions of soccer guilt.  My real reason for writing this post is to share a few words about a pretty cool company, with an even cooler name, RoadTrips.com.
