Anyway guys, I highly recommend you visit Europe, any travelling opens your mind to so many things, it's great. What Shimraa said about it making you a better person is so true.
P.S Glad to hear that you guys actually know what the world cup is!!! Most Americans I have spoken to didn't even know the US had a football team (and one that done quite well in the last world cup may I add).
P.P.S Be sure to call it football and not 'Soccer' if you come to England. Everyone will laugh at you.

Well, be glad you don't live in south america, we are one HUGE dumb steriotype. People tend to think we are all spanish-speaking indians who either live in jungles or on the beach doing carnaval all day long. Sometimes the misinformation gets really bizarre, like one day there was a brazillian news reporter on an american prison, and he was talking to the prisoners and some of them thought Brazil was in middle east. Some years ago there were americans who came to São Paulo, probably the 4th or 5th biggest city in the world, #3 or 4 in population, dressed with this weird jungle-like clothes, with nets and stuff, thinking they would come to a jungle or something... No, the capital of Brazil is NOT rio de janeiro (it's brasilia), and NEVER, EVER say the capital of Brazil is "Buenos Aires" (as Ronald Reagan said multiple times), you WILL get you ass kicked if you say that over here, that's one of the most offensive things you could say.

And yes for Christ sake don't call football "soccer" outside america or you will be ridiculed.

Hey Yoda: Do you remember the game brazil x england on 2002 world cup?

Swear to God that was the best football match ever.
