Thanks Dan, and you are right they are getting more into it as well as here in Canada. We thought the tune was catchy.

Ellen, think you better plan a few girls days out, this is a month long event with heightened anticipation!

We were thinking it would be an excellent song to apply to our real estate business! If we applied ourselves like this team and supporters are, just look what we could accomplish! This may just be our motivational song now! BRING IT HOME TO MAMA!!!!!!

Much like the Olympics, the World Cup is a time for all nations to join together, forget any political differences, and enjoy the game of soccer.

Great video you guys!

We think it is going to be exciting to follow Josh. We have never been to Brazil.

Your welcome Susan, your family will be part of the over a billion people watching, what a way to bring the world together!

Your right Wanda and for sure they will! It should be exciting!

Well Silvia, if their song is an indication of what they have planned it will be spectacular!

Craig, whatever it takes to bring people and nations together. Let it be sports!

Exciting times for your Baffana's Michelle!   

Ok George! We have a virtual lottery started.  So far, Brazil, Portugal and U.S.! Canada does not have a team ....yet!

We are sure you are going to get many other reminders Michael and you won't be able to forget this!

Thanks for the post, Al and Peggy.  I have no "favorite" team yet, but will do some investigating and choose a team to follow.  For what its worth, I generally love to cheer for the underdog =)
