World cup soccer

Hello my adoring fans, I am going to write a blog about the World Cup.The World cup is the most watched sporting event in the world. 3.2 billon people watch the World Cup every year (46.4 percent of  the population). It is held once every 4 years. The last world cup was in 2014. It lasted from June 12 to July 13 so over a month. (dang!That long!!). The  different games in the world cup were held in 12 different Brazilian cities.

 Thirty two different teams qualify for the world cup every time. They go an event called "Preliminary Competition"where all of the teams play in games preceding the World Cup that qualify's them to get in 1 of the 31 slots because the team for that country automatically gets in.The teams are put into 8 groups of 4 teams at the beginning of the tournament. The top 2 teams from each group will move on to the next round,who play in successive rounds to reach the finals.

The Adidas Golden Ball will be given to the most outstanding player at the World Cup finals. The Adidas Golden Boot is given to the player who makes the most amount of goals all season. And that is all I know about the World Cup.
