World Cup Post ( I know this is late!!)

I just realized that didn't post anything about the World Cup so these will have to do

"It's a simple thing. Just a ball and a goal. But once every four years that simple thing drastically changes the world. It closes the schools, closes the shops, closes the city, stops a war. A simple ball fuels the passion and pride of nations, gives people everywhere something to hope for, gives countries respect where respect is in short supply and achieves more than the politicians ever could. Once every four years a ball does the impossible. And if history means anything the world as we know it is about to change."

"After three years of civil war feuding factions talked for the first time in years. And the president called a truce. Because the Ivory Coast qualified for its first ever World Cup. As everyone knows a country united makes for better cheerleaders than a country divided. " - If this story doesn't bring tears to your eyes, I don't know what will.
