world cup, football memorabiliaWith the 09-10 NFL season in full gear as we pass Week 4 and prepare for another round of great Week 5 games, I wanted to shed some light on what is going in World Cup news. From a little kid, I have always liked playing and watching soccer. Past hockey, I don’ think there is a more physically demanding sport out there. Soccer is one of the only team sports where husky athletes aren’t commonplace. How could you be when running up and down a huge field?

In America, World Cup qualifiers have been practicing to see who will represent our country in front of the international community. David Beckham will play for England but don’t expect to see him as the captain. According to dailymail.co.uk, John Terry is captain of the English squad and their coach has been quoted saying Beckham is a tool used for substitutions or late match play. To be fair, Beckham has been playing for the Galaxy in LA while England’s squad has been playing together. There is a quick World Cup update for you, now get back to football memorabilia.
